Once again about the incident with members of the European Commission hacked at Baku Internet Governance Forum

The scandalous incident with the alleged burglary from the laptops Commission members while attending the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Baku (5-9 November 2012) has been exhausted.

As reported on his Twitter blog (ecspokesryan.tumblr.com) Ryan Heath, spokesperson of the Commission Vice-President Neelie Kroes, loss of information or malware was not found in his computer. Upon returning from the service offline IT-Security Commission investigated and revealed new details of the problem, which served as the basis for international misunderstanding.

According to him, in the computer posts were found contrary to the adopted certificates and of questionable character, which did not exclude invasion with a password. On the other hand, evidence was not found.

As previously reported media, Kroes and Heath, being in Baku, discovered surveillance. In addition, they were denied to visit detainees - Guba TV journalists, despite verbal permission of President Ilham Aliyev.

On their blogs, they wrote about censorship in Azerbaijan and that their laptop computers were hacked during the visit to the IGF conference.

The fact that their computers were hacked the members of the European Commission knew from the Apple security warning. Hacking (or problems of a different kind) on the laptops happened when the computers were in a hotel in Baku. - 17D-
