RUSSIAN TV HACKED
MOSCOW, December 13, 2005 – Hackers have succeeded in blocking the program broadcast of the Kremlin TV station in English language. “One of our computer systems was hacked and infected with viruses which blocked our program”, said the Russia Today TV channel chief editor Margarita Simonian. Simonian could not say when the broadcast of the program would continue, but added that the technical staff was working on it. Russia Today television was envisaged as a station which broadcast their program in English from the Russian perspective and represented the attempt of Kremlin to reflect the reporting of the foreign media on Russia, which the official Moscow considered to be bias and too critical.
