The issue of national identity is taken seriously by Balkan people – including the least serious among them.
Albania Premier in Hackers Gaffe
| 07 May 2008 |
Albania’s Premier has mistakenly blamed hackers for setting up a spoof government website which shows him sitting next to Adolf Hitler.
“Hackers, they are everywhere,” said Sali Berisha when asked
by reporters about the site.
“We will take stiff security measures to prevent such thing from happening,” he added.
The satirical site which has a web address keshilliministrave.org, spread a statement on Tuesday announcing that the web address of the government keshilliminitrave.al was moving.
The web page spoofs the Albanian premier with a satirical biography and Photoshop modified pictures where Berisha is shown with an American Second World War uniform handling an automatic weapon. It also portrays him in a computer montage riding in a motorcade with Adolf Hitler.
In 2005 the web site of the government was once attacked by a more authentic hacker, coming from Brazil.
During the attack the internet pirate modified the content of the web page by leaving the message.
“F… You, and get your own box.”
