    HACKERS ATTACK AGOS NEWSPAPER, FOUNDATION SITES

    ISTANBUL (Hurriyet)-The Web site of Turkey's leading Armenian newspaper
    was hacked in the early hours on Friday. Hackers also attacked the
    Web sites of two Turkey-based foundations.

    Hackers identifying themselves as "AK Hacker" overtook the Agos
    Web site and put up an image of Ogun Samast, the alleged murderer
    of the former editor in chief of the daily, Hrant Dink. The image
    was accompanied by a text that criticized opposition to the ruling
    party and stated the act of hacking was "an action that will go on
    to spread like poison to others who oppose the current powers."

    The International Hrant Dink Foundation and the Art for Peace
    Foundation were also hacked around the same time. An official from
    the Hrant Dink foundation told the Hurriyet Daily News that they were
    uncertain if the site was attacked by the same hackers.

    An attempt to view the Art for Peace Web site led to an error page
    bearing the same redirect address as the Agos Web site.

    The note on the Agos site also made a chilling threat given the murder
    of Hrant Dink: "If you do not fix your reporting in the way we see fit,
    there will be new Ogun Samasts and new Hrant Dinks."

    We provide a translation of the complete text on the hacked site:

    "You either love or you leave it. Or like the traitor Hrant, you die
    and disappear. You are you. You know yourself as much as we know you.

    You lived through what you deserved and it will continue as such. This
    act was taken on behalf of the Turkish flag, which is not on your Web
    site, and in the name of the Turkish Republic, will continue to spread
    like poison to others who oppose the current powers and everyone who
    opposes will be affected as such. If you do not change your articles
    and your words and your actions along the lines that we see fit,
    then there will be new Ogun Samasts and new Hrant Dinks. Thinking
    you're smart is your biggest ignorance. Just as the traitors who
    have given up their Turkishness will one day be expelled from the
    borders of this country, Turkey will be cleansed thanks to the current
    powers in Turkey and all slander campaigns will be unsuccessful and
    inconclusive from now on. GAME OVER!;"Who are we?; Hate, loathsome,
    Mco, Mr. Bond ; Do you remember? ; Ak Hackers"
