Armenian Genocide Institute among Turkish DDoS competition targetsDecember 15, 2016 - 12:35 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A Turkish crime group has come up with a new scheme that will create a competitive league of groups carrying out DDoS attacks. The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute in Yerevan is among the targets, The Merkle reports. This “league table” will only apply to groups using the crime syndicate’s own DDoS tools, though. As one would come to expect, the Turkish crime group has also put together a list of target organizations. For now, this list is rather small, although it contains some prominent targets. For example, the CDU Party led by Angela Merkel, and the Armenian Genocide Institute are two potential future DDoS targets. Relations between Germany and Turkey deteriorated after the Bundestag adopted a resolution to recognize the Armenian Genocide on June 2. Merkel's party also backed the motion then. Surface Defence is the Turkish crime group organizing this DDoS competition. Participants who use their tools will receive 1 point for every 10 minutes of successful attacks using the Tor-hosted Sledgehammer tool. Assuming that the participants can continue their relentless attacks for an extended period, they will track up points rather quickly. Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
