Hackers from the Turkish organization Ayyildiz Team have attacked the websites of Bulgaria's agriculture and regional development ministries, replacing the main page content with Turkish symbols.
Visitors to the website of the agriculture ministry
(www.mzgar.government.bg) and the Directorate for National Construction Supervision (www.dnsk.mrrb.government.bg) are being redirected to another site, which displays the following message: "This is a protest against Ataka Volen Siderov", referring to the leader of the nationalist party Ataka.
Against the background of Turkish landscape and Turkish national flag symbols, the message explains that the attack against the two ministerial sites came as a protest against the silent consent of the state to the destruction of a Turkish monument.
Krassimir Krantov, advisor to agriculture minister Nihat Kabil, told Darik Radio that police has been informed about the incident.
Exactly a year ago the group hacked the website of Bulgaria's biggest nationalist Ataka party and its newspaper, saying this was a protest against the destruction of a Turkish monument in the village of Turnak, Burgas district.
