MALAYSIA'S UNDER ATTACK

Due to the popularity of this issue I decided not to blog about it because it's already everywhere but I changed my mind after the news anchor in a local news show deliver a community message that stated hacking is a serious legal issue and at that time I was like "OMG, this is going too far already and I should blog about it !" and also my application in a government website has been denied and I blamed the hackers !

It started with this video, which is a warning about the cyber attack on malaysia.gov.my on 15 June...

If you think the image above is familiar that's because that is actually a character from V for Vendetta, the character called V wanted to destroy the totalitarian government. One of the skill possessed by this character is guess what - yes, computer hacking.

For your information the Anonymous group is a web group famously known for their government hacking skill. They even have a Twitter account where they will announced their next target. Some of the members have been arrested in Spain and Turkey and even India.

Malaysia was not mentioned in their tweet but the group itself have no fixed, should I say headquarters and they're freaking everywhere, so some people can used the name of Anonymous to do their deeds but who cares because anyone can be Anonymous. Investigation in Malaysia shows that the hacking is done locally.

So far this topic is still hot, so when do this hacking stop? Will Malaysia give what the hackers wanted? What action will the hackers do if the government didn't submit to their request? Will it be a real life Die Hard 4 event? The answer is...
