Rrjetit Albpress, se gjat? uikendit n? Jugosllavi ka mb?rritur nj? grup prej 10-12 haker?ve kompjuterik? nga Rusia, q?llimi i t? cil?ve do t? jet? p?rgatitja dhe realizimi i nj? "sulmi virtual" ndaj instalimeve shqiptare n? rrjetin bot?ror t? internetit. Resurset shqiptare n? Internet kan? qen? edhe m? par? objekte t? sulmeve nga haker?t serb?. Para disa muajsh, ata arrit?n t? bllokojn? faqet n? internet t? gazet?s "Z?ri i Kosov?s" dhe m? von? t? Qendr?s p?r Informim t? Kosov?s. Nd?rkaq, nj? grup haker?sh shqiptar? nga Kosova dhe Maqedonia, po p?rgatiten p?r t? p?rballuar "sulmin" virtual nga ana e aleanc?s s? haker?ve serbo-rus?. Nj? student i elektronik?s nga Prishtina, q? po q?ndron n? Tetov?, tha p?r Albpress se ai ishte pjestar i nj? grupi haker?sh shqiptar, i quajtur "Shqiponja e Pakapshme", dhe se ata jan? t? gatsh?m t? p?rballohen me "sulmin virtual" serb. ------------------------------------------ Sipas ketij lajmi nga Albpress, duhet pra qe te gjithe neve te cilet kemi mundesi, te mundohemi qe te perballojme kete lufte teknologjike dhe virtuale.
