You're reading: Yanukovych’s website comes under hacker attack

Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych's official Web site has come under a hacker attack, a source in the presidential administration told Interfax-Ukraine.

"The website is actually paralyzed," he said, noting that it was probably carried out in response to the call in social websites to attack the websites of Ukrainian executive agencies.

Strenuous work started at the presidential administration to deal with the aftermath last night.

Problems with the website arose in all their complexity at about noon on Wednesday, February 1. Initially, the database of official documents stopped working and now the home page is inaccessible.
