1 minute read

YEREVAN, JUNE 9, ARMENPRESS. The link “Video I made for my friends” spread in "Facebook" social network has a Turkish origin and is intended only for the Armenian users. This was stated by Samvel Martirosyan, media expert, in his interview with the journalists.

According to him, this virus does not exist in the European countries, and the evidence of its being Turkish is the important fact that in case of going to the link the users unintentionally "like" Turkish pages. "Only by "clicking" on the link the virus is not transmitted to the computer. The virus is transmitted if the user performs the required actions and downloads it. In this case, "Trojan" virus penetrates the computer, which steals the information from the computer, transferring it to the Turkish hackers. Currently, every second user is infected with this virus, but I find it difficult to estimate, how much information has flown to the Turkish hackers” – reports “Armenpress”, citing Martirosyan.
