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.

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
