Anonymous shuts down 297 Thai court websites

Likely denial of service. Big deal.

Thus far, Anonymous has shown itself to be petulant and amateurish. Its admitted cyber attacks against the Thai government have not struck out as a war cry for truth but more of a "oh my goodness" whimper. Pol. Gen. Dejnarong is right to be defiant against such nonsense. wai2.gif

Why criticize Anonymous, while their actions so far are mild their message is significant as they are keeping the pot boiling over the shameful perversion of justice in the Koh Tao murder case.

So having lost public confidence in the way they investigate crimes, the police have vowed they will move heaven and earth to investigate those who criticised the way they investigated the fist crimes? Wonder, do they see the irony in this?

The biggest obstacle for Anonymous is the Thai language. They need someone who can understand Thai and Google Translate just doesn't do the trick.

As pointed out, domestic Thai websites are all but useless, What can be targeted are service control data points such as airports, the power grid or mobile phone system. If none of you wishes to be inconvenienced, you best hope that the folks at anonymous don't take this up a notch.

No, I do not support hacktivists. Any good that can come from such actions is far outweighed by negative consequences.

One example, someone has been waiting for two years for a hearing, and the hackers disrupt the docket system and the case goes back in the que.

Be careful what you wish for. Thailand has enough problems without foreigners throwing gasoline on the fire.

Now if they could just show us what is in the bank accounts of the Thai judiciary and police big wigs we might get an idea of what is really going on

The term unusual wealth come to mind

Has any of the investigative journalists gone into any business transactions during/after the B2 investigation?

I'm sure it didn't come cheaply.

Perhaps a certain bar, or businesses owned by the family have had new shareholders added.

Remember Santika, it was licensed as a noodle vendor in an Entertainment Free Zone. It was raided weekly, until a top cop was made a major share-holder.

A small message of yes we are good enough to get into your systems.

Now a threat of leaking info on corrupt officials, Recon there might be a few nerves people out there, and moving money and assets as quickly as possible.

This could just fizzle over time, or just get bigger?

Now a justification for the great bamboo fire wall the government have a hard-on for. oh well time to relocate.

The Police taunted anonymous group and said they were not good enough to break into their DB...

They should take care as the release of some sensitive data may be VERY problematic for Prayout and above

The police database is NOT the government or the army database so why should cause a problem for Gen Prayuth?

If they get into the army or government one, then perhaps there will be a problem.

Or their data dump may contain IDs of people that could be put in danger by being identified, witnesses and officials on serious crime cases for example.

The people cheering them on to continue this antics haven't thought things through, on one hand because they could put legitimate legal cases and innocent people at risk and on the other because this games will only convince the government to become even more intent on controlling the Internet in Thailand.

All that for what? So they can pat each other on the back?

The Thai police do a fine job of doing that without being hacked!

Of course you would white knight on their behalf though. It's your M.O.

Thai Court of Justice warns outside hackers against continual attacks

Y2Gcr7FmYarLhDwlFi4pAmkSdzuwum3Z3EDijOXV

BANGKOK: -- The Thai Court of Justice yesterday warned hackers, believed to be in abroad and with relations to recent death sentence ruling in Koh Tao case, against its continual attack on websites of the Thai courts saying their computer crime acts could not make any change in the ruling by the court of first instance.

Statement by the Court of Justice came as the websites of the Court of Justice were attacked by hackers with about 10 internet protocol (IP) addresses were located broad.

The attacks forced its websites to collapse since 10 pm on Tuesday.

Spokesman of the Court of Justice Mr Suebpong Sripongkul said the attack was first detected when the home page of the Court of Justice turned black on the screen with messages written in English which read “Failed Law We want Justice #Boycott Thailand.”

The spokesman said from the investigation by Thailand Computer Emergency Response Team, all IP addresses of the hackers came from abroad.

He however did not name the country but said messages left by these hackers under the BLINK HACKER GROUP and Anonymous Myanmar Hacker had shown their links with the recent death ruling in Koh Tao case.

But he assured that the hacking only blocked outsiders from visiting the websites while internal systems linking the Office of the Court of Justice and internal organisations continued to operate.

He said the Court of Justice would consider legal action against the hackers.

He said disruption of computer systems and computer-based information that was a public service were liable to a maximum fine of 60,000-300,000 baht and a jail term of 3-15 years.

Mr Suebpong said attempts by these hackers could not make any change in the ruling by the first court .

He said the defendants still have the right to appeal under the judicial procedure.
