HACKERS MOVE DISPUTE TO CYBERSPACE
THE border dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia moved into
cyberspace on Wednesday as Indonesian hackers launched attacks on
Malaysian websites.
Government sites were the main targets of the campaign which came
on top of three days of street protests against Malaysia's granting
of an oil concession off Borneo island in an area claimed by both
countries.
In one attack on a website belonging to the office of the Sultan of
Perak, Malaysia's second-largest state, visitors were greeted by
the word 'Indonesia' on a red-and-white background -- the colours
of the national flag.
Scrolling text also carried the sentences: 'Indonesia is united'
and 'do not disturb my land'.
The Malaysian public works department's website was also defaced,
but was restored later on Wednesday. -- AFP
