WTF?! - ‘Hayastanci: Anti-Russia’

After reading this IWPR report and glancing at this so called group’s so called website, my only reaction was - WTF?! They look like a group of hackers playing with others’ nerves, hoping for publicity and having fun. Mentally disturbed people with sick agenda.

A burst of anti-Russian [Unzipped: not only anti-Russian] emails and text messages, supposedly sent from an Armenian activist group [Unzipped: I do not think it’s an ‘Armenian activist group’], has left Armenians baffled as to who’s behind it and what their motives are.

The emails and text messages originate from an organisation calling itself Hayastanci: Anti-Russia, and thousands of Armenians have received them. More...

That's how it looked like on the front page of A1+ Election 2007 website at 01:33 (14 September; Yerevan time). First 'post' by Azeri hackers which I won't bring in here (it contains Russian swearing) appeared on the site at 01:31 (14 September). This is the last in a series of recent attacks by Azeri time-wasters.

Very cheap, indeed!

*Update (15 September 2007)
Apparently, overall 12 Armenian websites were hacked as a result of that cyber attack. The alleged reasons for Azeri actions, as presented in Armenian online media, were postings by Armenian blogger Kornelij Glas of pictures and news on Christian cemeteries destroyed in Azerbaijan. However, those pictures were essentially republished from Azeri site Day.az, and it seems strange and unconvincing to me why retaliation should be directed towards Armenian sites?
