Hacker attack after publication about President’s family
On August 10 and 11, the Asiaterra.info website in Uzbekistan was subjected to a DDOS attack. Readers immediately connected the fact with the publication of a car accident in the center of Tashkent, which some experts consider the son-in-law of the President of Uzbekistan to blame.
Asiaterra editor Alexey Volosevich conducted the investigation, and suggested a version of what happened. According to the aggregate of collateral circumstances, he called the most likely culprit of the accident the husband of the youngest daughter of the President, as well as the Deputy Head of his security service, Otabek Umarov. In the report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, disseminated by local media, he was denoted as “the driver of a foreign car 33-year-old Sh. Zh.”.
As Alexey Volosevich told to ACCA, the DDOS attack began immediately after the publication of the article about the President’s son-in-law. “It was very powerful. From one IP address, there were 8500 requests for the page browsing,” he emphasized.
On August 6, the car Nissan GT-RR35 crashed into the Spark and Matiz cars at a speed of about 200 km/h. An eyewitness describes the driver’s behavior as follows: “… he did not even get out of the car. He sat waiting for him to be taken. And around the crippled people lay around and moaned in pain. The drivers stopped, helped them, but he sat in his car. Then, at the call of the dad, the highway was completely blocked, the national guard arrived (i.e. the President’s personal guard, it doesn’t come to all accidents). And for 2 kilometers no one was allowed into the accident site. As they pulled him out, they immediately covered the car. Only after some time, three victims with serious injuries were taken to the Republican Scientific Center for Emergency Medicine.”
Alexey Volosevich suggested that such expensive cars are very few in the country and the owner of the car is easy to identify. His colleagues and Internet users came to the same conclusion, having begun to post the photograph in their posts. It shows the son of Mirziyoyev, surrounded by children, and the youngest son-in-law of the Head of state with his son.
According to Ozodlik radio, “the accident on the so-called “presidential highway” occurred through the fault of “one of the senior security officials”. Journalists of the online edition “Eltuz” have no doubt that it was the President’s son-in-law who crippled people. Both sites are blocked in Uzbekistan.
