Baku / 06.09.18 / Turan: AzToday.az site was destroyed as a result of massive Ddos attacks, its editor-in-chief Elmidar Aliyev told Turan. According to him, the site could not withstand simultaneous access to it from 1 million IP addresses. "The site is destroyed, we lost the entire archive and it is unlikely to be restored," Aliyev said. He noted that AzToday.az had previously been subjected to hacker attacks, and every time it happened after the publication of critical articles about SOCAR. The current attack followed the publication of information on the detention of Kamal Oksuz in Armenia at the request of the US, who is convicted of organizing trips to Azerbaijan in 2013 for US congressmen at the expense of financing SOCAR, as well as the demands of the Democratic Party of Azerbaijan to institute criminal proceedings against the president of the state oil company Rovnag Abdullayev.
According to Aliyev, in November 2017 AzToday.az was blocked on the territory of Azerbaijan by order, as he considers Azerbaijan's presidential aide Ali Hasanov. In May, the site was unblocked. "We were not allowed to work for a long time, and the site was destroyed," Aliyev said. He is a member of the Media Club, established in April this year by the leaders of a number of media outlets and prominent representatives of the journalistic community. -06D--
