In the case of JUG press from Leskovac, attempts to break into their system were recorded. The site suffered two serious attacks, the first in the period from 15-17. May and another on June 21, or thanks to the quick reaction of their technical support team, the consequences have been successfully eliminated. The attack has been reported, but the reasons are unknown.
As recorded in the monitoring database of Share and BIRN, this media house has been the target of similar attacks in the past, which leads to the suspicion that this incident is another attempt to exert pressure due to their objective, professional and impartial editorial policy.
