Ali Karimli's Accounts on WhatsApp and Telegram Seized - PFPA

Baku / 21.04.20 / Turan: The information blockade of the Popular Front Party leader Ali Karimli continues on the eighth day. The day before, he faced another provocation when his accounts on WhatsApp and Telegram were seized, the PFPA statement said.

PFPA is confident that this could not have happened without the participation of the mobile operator Azercell. “How else could the hackers have access codes for the accounts?” the statement said.

Along with this, hacker attacks on PFPA activist accounts on Facebook continue. PFPA is convinced that the country's authorities are behind all this.

Azercell previously denied involvement in depriving Karimli of access to mobile Internet and mobile communications. The country's authorities have not yet responded to the accusations against them.

Commenting on the situation to Turan, media expert Alesker Mammadli noted that even the most secure confidential data on the Internet can be hacked. At the same time, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal instant messengers, which are tied to mobile phones, are more vulnerable than email.

However, in Azerbaijan, the equipment of the Special State Guard Service (recently disbanded) was built into the infrastructure of the mobile operators.   –06D-
