Kommersant Director General
Demyan Kudryavtsev demanded the prosecution of the press secretary of the pro-Kremlin
Nashi movement, Kristina
Potupchik, for preparing
DDoS-attacks on
Kommersant's website in 2008. According to
Kudryavtsev, the content of
Potupchik's email, which was recently published by Anonymous, a hacker group, clearly indicates that she was involved in preparing attacks on the newspapers' website. In one of the letters, which dated back to February 2008,
Potupchik wrote to one of her colleagues suggesting methods for paralyzing the work of
Kommersant. In particular, she said that
DDoS attacks are needed to "psychologically and physically finish off" the newspaper. Thereafter,
Kommersant's website was hacked and was unavailable for over a day. "
Kommersant will require that the Interior Ministry initiate criminal proceedings against Ms.
Potupchik and other persons involved in the case... Now that there is no need to look for the guilty, it is important to make sure that they do not go unpunished,"
Kudryavtsev stated.
Kommersant is a leading Russian business newspaper and publishing house.
