Gibrahayer e-magazine press release

Nicosia 28 February, 2011 - After unsuccessful attempts to bring Gibrahayer e-magazine website (www.gibrahayer.com) down, "unknown" Internet hackers have attacked Gibrahayer's 5,000 + community of global Facebook friends and halted its activity for more than 10 days.
      

Gibrahayer e-magazine's Sevag Devletian said that they had done everything necessary to restore Gibrahayer's Facebook account, but this had not been successful until now. "Facebook have asked for ID, web and email verification and we are in the process of providing and authenticating that with them", Sevag Devletian said.

"We are behind strong servers for our website and weekly e-magazine, but as we do not have 100% control over Facebook, not all defences are up to us" Devletian added.

Gibrahayer's Simon Aynedjian said that "people are recognising the power of social media and the Internet, that is why the wars on information are being strategically targeted".
"I guess we have lost this little battle of losing a Facebook account for a fortnight" Aynedjian said and concluded. "The war to silence our word, will have one victor. These momentary glitches have minimal effect on the outcome over time."
