Federal body hijacks Internet domain

BELGRADE, Monday -- An Internet site which had been opened to report election results was hijacked this morning by a government body and the election results on the site falsified, Beta learnt today from Stanimir Miljkovic, a spokesman for Free Serbia.

"Between four and five this morning, changes were made at the top-level domain and now, instead of our server, the address, www.izbori.org.yu, leads to a server at the Academic Education Centre," said Milosevic, adding that the domain was properly registered under regional domain administration which under direct control of the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology.

Miljkovic told Beta that he believed the move had come after political pressure on the administrators of the org.yu domain, because the special elections site was being constantly updated with election results.
