Malaysia hacker group hacking Malaysia’s website
After the announcement of infamous hacker group, Anonymous, to launch an attack against Malaysian government’s websites, a Malaysia hacker group, known as Dragon Force Malaysia has somehow followed their footsteps and has successfully defaced one of the government’s websites – TourMalaysia. It is believed that both the hacker group, Anonymous and Dragon Force Malaysia did this to protest against the Malaysian government for their failure to protect the basic human rights (accessing the internet is now a basic human right, as announced by the United Nation) for blocking sites such as MegaUpload.com, FileServe.com and Wikileaks.

Update: It seems that more and more Malaysian websites are getting hacked. The official portal for Malaysia’s polytechnic graduate department has been defaced. The website has been put up with the same page as TourMalaysia, but this time, with some comments from Facebook by internet users of Malaysia on the page, helping them to amplify their voice, protesting against the government of Malaysia for blocking websites.
Operation Malaysia – hacker group “Anonymous” taking Malaysia government’s sites down (#OpMalaysia)
The infamous hacker group – Anonymous, has threatened to attack Malaysia government’s site, www.malaysia.gov.my. It is certain that they would be launching the attack to protest against the government’s strict rules on the internet. ISPs in the country has begun to take action against sites such as Megaupload.com and FileServe.com after getting a notice from the country’s internet regulation board – SKMM. They have announced the attack and they plan to launch it on 15th of June 2011 7pm GMT.
Greetings, Malaysia, We have seen the censorship taken by the Malaysian government, blocking sites like The Pirate Bay, and WikiLeaks. Malaysia is one of the world’s strictest governments, even blocking out movies, and television shows. These acts of censorship are inexcusable. You are taking away a basic human right. The internet is here for freedom, without fear of government interference. Do not think that no one else notices. Your structured government has done the talking, and we hear loud and clear. Let this be an announcement to all your people. This is a sign, a warning, and an opportunity to listen to ideas above your own. In a way you are being stubborn. But how will this help anyone or your country. We fear that if you make further decisions to take away human freedom. We are obligated to act fast and have no mercy. For rules were meant to be broken. And corruption was meant to be washed away and forgiven. Now we will wash your corruption away so be prepared. Take this as a favor.
by Anonymous.
Update: It seems that Anonymous has hacked into SabahTourism.com. They’ve posted database of the site on this page – http://pastehtml.com/view/ax3mejiup.html
#OpMalaysia is really happening.
News: Crazy fan-made Windows Phone 7 Ad
Wow. This is really a crazy fan-made Windows Phone 7 advertisement made by Brandon Foy. The whole video just looks like an official advertisement from Microsoft. Man, if they were to advertise using this video, I would say their sales would boost up, up and up! Check it out!
News: LG Optimus Pad, does it really set the standard for all others?
The LG Optimus Pad is coming soon. In YouTube, LG brags that it sets the standard for others. Is this really true? I don’t think so.
Although it comes with a dual core processor, a stereoscopic camera for 3D video recording and many other new technology in it, it boasts a price of €999 (price which is announced in Germany, which will be about $1340). This is really expensive compared to the iPad (of course this should be compared to the iPad 2 but it is not announced yet). With the new Android Honeycomb 3.0 inside, this little piece of gadget really writes a new page in the history of tablet. Yet, these features would be a little too much for ordinary consumers as the one who is believed by the consumers to be the one who really sets the standards for others – Apple has not released their iPad 2. An intense competition is on its way.
Will people buy it even though it’s so expensive? I doubt, but we will have to really look at the numbers before jumping to conclusions. Video below.
LG Optimus Pad’s specs:
- 8.9-inch display
- Tegra 2 dual core processor
- Two 5 megapixels cameras (able to capture 3D contents)
- LED flashlight
- Front-facing camera
- Android 3.0 Honeycomb
Note: 3D glasses are needed to view 3D contents, it’s not glasses-free, unfortunately.
Downloads: QR code reader for Symbian
QR (Quick Response) code is very useful and convenient nowadays to quickly lead a person to a specific URL. Recently, I’ve been searching for a QR code reader for my bloody Symbian phone. Android and iOS users are lucky to have QR code reader apps ready and available for them to download while Symbian’s users, well, need a bit of luck since virtually no developers have any interest in Symbian anymore. Thank god I found one.
Upcode Reader, where you can find and download it here, is very useful and – my god it surprises me. It captures the QR code automatically and quickly lead you the specific URL. All you have to do is point your camera and fit the QR code in the green box and – avada kedavra!
Glad there are still apps that are able to surprise me on this old Symbian platform.
