Armenia should think about protecting its sites
Armenia should think about protecting its sites first rather then inflict retaliatory strikes, Stepan Aslanyan, director of the Smart Systems Armenian company told a press conference devoted to "Information war and massive attacks on Armenian sites by Azeri hackers" today.

According to him, out of about 500 sites serviced by Smart Systems 60 came under attack. Stepan Aslanyan reminded, that there are no fully secure sites either in Armenia, or elsewhere, there are cases of hacking, even the Pentagon's website.

Stepan Aslanyan also noted, that the time necessary to restore the hacked sites is also an important indicator. Some sites of Armenian ministries, hacked on August 7, has not yet been restored. In this regard, the Mr. Aslanyan noted that bring up an example of how some hacked government sites were restored after several minutes, while the site of Pentagon was restored after a few seconds.
