Internet portal "Human Rights in Russia" opens a temporary website

The employees of the Internet portal "Human Rights in Russia" (HRO.org), which was attacked by malefactors and disabled for the time being, have launched a special temporary site for information support. Its address is http://hro1.org.

We remind you that earlier Andrei Blinushov, editor-in-chief of the portal "Human Rights in Russia", which is exposed to hackers' attacks since October 21, had declared that DDos-attacks were made on oppositional resources only.

The "Caucasian Knot" has already reported that since October 21, 2007, the portal "Human Rights in Russia", the largest Russian-speaking Internet resource about human rights and freedoms in the Russian Federation, was exposed to continuous massive computer attack. In particular, this portal is placing the information about the war in Chechnya, as well as about the situation with human rights in Northern Caucasus.

Let us note here that hackers' attacks on such websites are not uncommon. In 2002, hackers' actions started against the website "Kavkaz-Centre", which expresses the opinions of Chechen separatists. However, officers of the FSB (Federal Security Bureau) Department for the Tomsk Regions had stated that the actions of students-hackers "did not contradict the Russian legislation" and "were an expression of their civil position worthy of respect." The website was repeatedly attacked by hackers in 2003, and then again in 2005, after the attack on Nalchik, the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria.
