SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) - Bulgaria's president on Monday offered a job to
an unknown hacker who broke into his official Web site last week,
leaving a message of despair.

In an interview with the daily 24 Hours, President Petar Stoyanov
urged the hacker to give him a call.

"I'll offer him a job in my office without any hesitation. He is
obviously very talented because he broke into the site without
damaging any information," Stoyanov said.

In his message, signed with the name "Kubaka," the hacker had
complained about the dire prospects for young people in Bulgaria who
are in search of jobs.

The president's Web site was restored Friday.

A Web site violation was reported Thursday by the ruling Union of
Democratic Forces. Hackers broke into the party's site and left an
obscene message.
