Profile
The Azerbaijan Judges Association, also known as the Azerbaijan Association of Judges of Specialized Courts, is an organisation based in Azerbaijan. As indicated by its name, it brings together judges who serve in the country's specialised courts. The organisation's headquarters are located in Azerbaijan, although the specific city is not detailed in the available sources.
On 23 October 2014, the Armenian hacker group Monte Melkonian Cyber Army launched a cyber operation that compromised the Azerbaijan Judges Association's website. The attackers replaced the site's content with a political declaration asserting Armenian sovereignty over disputed territories. They also embedded propaganda messages and videos as part of the defacement. The same operation targeted the Bank Education Center and Azerbaijani embassies in Belgium and Poland. The defacement mirrored earlier Monte Melkonian Cyber Army campaigns that included large‑scale DDoS attacks against Azerbaijani infrastructure. The group had previously focused on Turkish sites linked to genocide disputes, showing a pattern of politically motivated cyber actions. The incident was reported by Latest Hacking News on the same date, highlighting the reciprocal cyber hostilities between Azerbaijani and Armenian actors at that time.
