Azeri hacker attacks on Armenia’s tourist websites continue

Over the last month, official websites of a number of Armenian travel agencies fell victim to Azeri hacker attacks. Among hacked websites are: www.yerevantravel.ru; www.armeniatravel.ru; www.turist.am; www.jermuk.ru; www.cakhkadzor.ru and www.armeniantour.ru.

On August 3 through September 4, Yerevan Travel tourist agency technical service reported 53 attacks, 4 hacks and information loss.

Yerevan Travel Director General Hovhannes Khachatryan issued a statement condemning destructive steps which may undermine Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue on Karabakh settlement. “We hope the common sense will triumph, with law enforcement agencies to reveal and prevent further violations in virtual space,” the statement said.
