Rais: 198 Government Websites Hacked

KUALA LUMPUR, 17 JUNE, 2011: A total of 198 official government websites have been hacked and 90 percent of hackers come from within the country.

Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said the attacks are politically motivated and intended to sabotage the government.

He said attacks on government websites only slowdown people's dealings with the government.

"For example, if the website of a government agency that manages land is hacked, then land matters will be disrupted and the same goes for banking and others. The attacks are strange, pathetic and politically motivated," he told a press conference here today.

Rais said the government will take legal action against the hackers responsible and urged then to be patriotic.

He believe the attacks were linked to the planned illegal rallies by Bersih in Kuala Lumpur, Sabah and Sarawak on July 9.

The cyber attacks were temporary in nature and will not paralyse the websites hacked.

Asked whether the attacks will affect national security, Rais said it could happen if left unchecked.

The Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit(Mampu), Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and security agencies are solving the problem as it is serious problem.
