Hackers crack website of RIA "Dagestan" again

Today, the website of the RIA "Dagestan", founded by the Ministry of National Policy, Information and External Relations of Dagestan, suffered from a hacker's attack again: supporters of separatists have placed their appeal to law enforcers on behalf of one of extremist groupings in the main page of the website.

The appeal to militiamen and other special fighters was signed by the "Battle Mujahads' Group 13" of the United Vilayat of KBK (Kabarda, Balkaria and Karachai). A photo of a sniper in mask was placed as an illustration.

The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told at the RIA "Dagestan" that currently the specialists of the company in charge of servicing the website were trying to eliminate the consequences of the hacker's attack. The operation of the site was temporarily suspended.

It is the second crack of the website in the last week. The first attack was made on Saturday, June 20, at about 1:40 p.m. Moscow time. Then, an appeal appeared in the front page on behalf of the members of Ibragim Gadzhidadaev's extremist grouping, who announced themselves responsible for murdering Minister of Interior of Dagestan Adilgerei Magomedtagirov.
