The public complaints page of the Communications and Informatics Ministry's official website, dumas.kominfo.go.id, has
apparently fallen victim to a hacking attack launched in retaliation
against local calls for Google and YouTube to be blocked in Indonesia.
Images circulating in the media shows that a hacker inserted a message about the blocking issue on the webpage on Tuesday evening.
“The internet is not negative. It is the user who made it negative. Blocking is never a solution, but fix the morality of the user,” the message said.
On Wednesday afternoon, the webpage was not available for public access, leaving a 404 code suggesting that the page was not to be found. However, a search on Google using the keywords ‘dumas kominfo’ produced a summary of the hacker’s message.
Last week, the official website of the Association of Indonesia Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI) was similarly attacked by a hacker, presumably because of the association’s call to ban Google and YouTube in Indonesia for “promoting violent and pornographic content.” The ICMI website, icmi.or.id, was not accessible until Wednesday.
