(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 26. During the war
and anti-terrorist activities of local nature conducted by the
Azerbaijani armed forces in Karabakh, cyber attacks were made on
the official page of the Ministry of Defense, and President Ilham
Aliyev, head of the State Special Communication and Information
Security Service Department Tural Mammadov said, Trend reports.
He spoke at the event "Critical Infrastructure Defense Challenge
2023" in Baku.
He noted that cyber attacks on various information structures in
Azerbaijan do not stop and occur 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Regular statistics are also presented in this regard.
"According to IP, it is difficult to establish from which
countries exactly cyberattacks take place. Because they are
anonymous and falsified. If we pay attention to the format and
directions of these attacks, based on our analyses, it is
established that most of them are organized from neighboring
countries. Our services carry out round-the-clock monitoring
against attacks and actively work on the protection of state
institutions' information systems," Mammadov emphasized.
He also mentioned that, according to the period of activity,
cyberattacks can be on the websites of various government
agencies.
"Cyberattacks against critically important infrastructures are
also observed. Among them are banks and other structures. At the
same time, we are witnessing the transmission of mass messages and
disinformation tools to citizens," Mammadov added.
In order to ensure the provisions of the Trilateral Statement
[signed by Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian leaders following the
2020 second Karabakh war], to stop large-scale provocations in the
Karabakh economic region, to disarm and withdraw formations of the
Armenian armed forces from the territories of Azerbaijan, to
neutralize their military infrastructure, to ensure the safety of
the peaceful population returning to the territories liberated from
occupation, civil servants involved in construction and
reconstruction work, and Azerbaijan's military personnel, as well
as to restore the constitutional order of the Republic of
Azerbaijan, anti-terrorist measures have been conducted in the
region.
Within the framework of the activities, positions of Armenian
armed forces formations, their long-term firing points, as well as
military means and military facilities, were disrupted using
high-precision weapons in the front line and in depth. Civilians
and civilian infrastructure were not targets; only legitimate
military targets were disabled.
