Albanian Hackers Attacked Serbia’s Nikola Tesla Airport Website
BalkanTravellers.com
On the website of Belgrade’s and Serbia’s biggest airport, the hackers published texts praising “the Republic of Kosovo” and the united Albanian states, the airport’s information service told the Serbian Politika newspaper.
According to the publication, the same group of hackers published in the horoscope section of the Internet portal serbiancafe.com, the Albanian coat of arms in red on a black font, with the letters KHG written in its middle in white. Under the coat of arms was written “Happy Birthday,” “This is a present for your birthday,” “Long live Kosovo” and signed by “United State of Albania,” according to the Politika newspaper.
A check by BalkanTravellers.com on Monday showed that both the Nikola Tesla Airport website and the serbiancafe.com portal were functioning properly today, without any apparent glitches or unsolicited publications.
