Missing the point

by Dr Hsu

The Malaysian Insider carries 2 headlines upon a homepage today. One is:

Government portal brought down, 51 sites attacked

The second is:

MCMC shrugs off Operation Malaysia, says little impact

Hacking an additional chairman or organisations web page is of course really wrong. we don not condone a actions of these hackers.

But MCMC has missed a point here, too. Even though most of a websites have been behind to normal operation shortly after a attacks, a fact which a sites were down even for a couple of minutes show how vulnerable these sites are. If there is any personal information as well as data in these sites, it would have been hacked as well as performed by a hackers.

MCMC has missed an additional point . The attacks have put Malaysia in universe news, but for wrong reasons.

Malaysia is now substantially known as a nation which infringes upon simple human rights of record sharing, asa nation which reneges a promise not to bury internet. This will outcome in most of a internet community shunning this country, among them most IT experts as well as companies as well as investors too.

As we have mentioned in my final post, it is actually really simple to by pass a block. we have tried it after a little of a websites blacklisted by our supervision become untouched due to a ISPs blocking a sites. After configuring my DNS to Google DNS (8.8.8.8), we have no complaint going to a sites again, not to download, but just to try out how ea! sy it is to bypass a block.

What will be next?

Probabl y a vulnerability of a websites would be cited as reasons to get outside experts to re-design a pages.

Probably most millions extra would be spent, going by a rate a facebook webpage costs a taxation payers. Probably most people would be happy for these extra spendings, given there will be leakages as well as wastages as usual, as well as those beneficiaries will be shouting to a banks.
