That's how it looked like on the front page of A1+ Election 2007 website at 01:33 (14 September; Yerevan time). First 'post' by Azeri hackers which I won't bring in here (it contains Russian swearing) appeared on the site at 01:31 (14 September). This is the last in a series of recent attacks by Azeri time-wasters.

Very cheap, indeed!

*Update (15 September 2007)
Apparently, overall 12 Armenian websites were hacked as a result of that cyber attack. The alleged reasons for Azeri actions, as presented in Armenian online media, were postings by Armenian blogger Kornelij Glas of pictures and news on Christian cemeteries destroyed in Azerbaijan. However, those pictures were essentially republished from Azeri site Day.az, and it seems strange and unconvincing to me why retaliation should be directed towards Armenian sites?
