Disruptions
editThe operators of Day.az claimed that they were the victim ofcyberattacks during the 2008 South Ossetia war.On 11 August 2009, Day.az andANS Presswere disrupted, with day.az being inaccessible for almost two hours.[9]On 18 February 2009, the portal became inaccessible, and on the following day the domains' day.az and today.az were removed from the.aztop-level domain. Reports concerning the cause ranged from speculation about "political mistakes",hackers,to creation of a new website.[1][10]
The sale process was triggered by the interview ofBoris Berezovskywho is in exile in UK which angered Russian president at the time,Vladimir Putin,who demanded the shut-off the website. Later, the website was reopened by Trend News Agency management, loyal to the existing government.
