Hackers of the ICT are possibly Thais in Germany

Post by buksida »

It is believed that hackers who broke into the Information and Communications Technology Ministry's website on Thursday may be Thais in Germany, a Department of Special Investigation police said Friday.

"Our investigation showed that the hackers are staying in Europe. At this stage, we believed they may be Thais living in Germany," Pol Col Yannaphon Yangyuen, chief of DSI's technology and information section said.

The hackers plastered the opening page of the ICT website with a moving image of a smiling Thaksin Shinawatra, the ousted prime minister, confronting his nemesis, coup-maker General Sonthi Boonyaratglin.

The animation against a black background showed Thaksin grinning and waving his hand, with the message "take back your dictatorship and return our Thailand" next to it.

It was displayed at about 11:50am for about 10 minutes until the page was removed. The site was taken offline until 2pm.

Yannaphon said that the ICT did not ask the DSI to find the hackers. His statement that the hackers were possibly Thais in Germany was from his own investigation.

The ICT meanwhile filed a complaint with police over the hackers.

Nice articel there Buksi!

I can confirm that I was not online @ that time. It must had happened around 6:50am German time during that time i was still iin deep slumber. It could be that them Hackers could have laying a fals trace to cover threir tracks? You can easily do it when you have some recently hacked Comuters to Act as Bots covering you trail for ya, my best friend from Bangkok told me.
I know nothing about Hacking a Computer as my expertise lies in Mass Media, TV, Radio, Prees Publications, typicall Communications Arts stuff. Tha's all!

Halloi there Big Boy

This News is not new it was posted as a Breaking Mews Section in the Bangkok Post website yesterday!.
i find yoru question very interesting and I was not least insulted as I would act probably same as you (with suspicion) but I have someone who can substantiate my story. My other aunt who lives with us here in Germany was in the same Bedroom. She usually wakes up around 7:30 in the morning and still saw me sleeping. until 8:45 when I woke up. I hope this statement could ease your concerns.

Your's the understudy! :cheers: .

Hello buksida

Back to your question if I shed any light on This. Ic an say nobody woudln't tell nothing. Some suspect Foregin Thai Students or Tech savvy German husband who are married to a Thai Wife. In the Bg Cities such as Berlin, Hannover, Frankfurt, Munich and Stuttgart where have a fair ammount of of Thai population, The Thai;s overthere I'd called around don't have a clue who had done it. and they find it very dumb from them doing it. Most Thais overhere care about their own lives more than what going on @ Home but it's good to know whats going on in Thailand though. over. Thai Global Network
