Every second and third computer in Armenia is infected by malware, says specialist
Sixty percent of Armenia's population uses the Internet, information security expert Samvel Martirosyan said on Friday. According to Kaspersky [antivirus technical support & customer service], every second and third computer in Armenia is infected,” he said. “Today one country can block another country's access to the Internet. For example, in 2007, a series of cyber attacks occurred in Estonia and the country was disconnected from the Internet by Russian hackers. As a result, the activities were paralyzed in the entire country. If the US government wants, it can instruct to delete a domain name. Now attempts are being made to attack the global internet satellite,” the expert added. “The Internet develops constantly; however some countries, e.g. China, attempt to create a new Internet. No one knows what is happening on their Internet. Similarly, they cannot access many of our websites.”
