ArmInfo. Only in 2018 about 3 million hacker attacks were carried out on the official websites of state structures of Armenia. The director of the RA National Security Service Scientific-Educational Center Armen Kinaktsyan said this in an interview with journalists.
According to him, the lion's share of attacks fell on Azerbaijani hackers, although there were also attacks from European countries. According to Kinaktsyan, the activation of hackers was caused by spring processes in Armenia in order to exert influence on them from outside. However, he admitted that the National Security Service did not conduct a separate study on this subject.
Speaking about crimes in the field of intelligence and counterintelligence, Kinaktsyan said that since independence, 20 cases of work in Azerbaijan and 1 case, works of Turkey have been revealed (talking about Murad Bojolian). In general, he said, 25 people were sentenced for treason.
He also noted that opponents, through the introduction of agents into social networks, can influence public moods in the country, by spreading panic, defeatism, and pessimistic forecasts for the future. "And taking into account a number of factors, for example, blocking the borders of the republic, in the face of catastrophic demographic trends, the enemy in the long term can achieve these goals by such methods," the NSS officer warned.
