Youth for Achievements

Youth for Achievements is an Armenian non‑governmental organization operating under that alias. Its headquarters are located in Armenia. As an NGO, it functions within the civil society sector of the country. The organization’s name suggests a focus on youth‑related initiatives, although specific program details are not disclosed in the available sources.

On 21 January 2014, the group known as the Anti‑Armenia Team, identified as Azerbaijani hackers, breached a series of Armenian government websites. The attack also compromised the website of Youth for Achievements, which was among 64 sites defaced with an anti‑Armenian video message. The attackers claimed responsibility for the defacements by sending an email to the affected parties. Although the intrusion was confirmed, any potential data theft remained unconfirmed according to the reports. The incident echoed earlier intrusions that had targeted Armenia’s National Security Service and various ministries. The defacement occurred against a backdrop of ongoing regional tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia. All compromised websites, including that of Youth for Achievements, were restored shortly after the attack.
