Cambodia was attacked computer hackers after police arrested a Swedish
founder of the Pirate Bay file-sharing website last week, the Wall Street
Journal says.
The report said a group calling
itself NullCrew began hacking into Cambodian government and commercial websites
after news of Gottfrid Svartholm Warg's arrest.
"Among other targets were
websites for the Cambodian armed forces, the Ministry of Public Works and
Cambodia's Institute of Standards. NullCrew hackers then posted what they
claimed were passwords to the websites on a bulletin page widely used by
so-called hacktivist groups," the report said.
NullCrew was quoted as saying
that "Cambodia is now a target" after the Swede's arrest. "They
should have expected it when they did this," the group reportedly said.
"Cambodia, we will not stop until you come to your senses."
Chin Daro, a deputy director at
Telecom Cambodia, was quoted as saying that officials were working with
Internet service providers to identify the source and extent of the attack.
"It's hard for us if the address is outside the country," he
reportedly said.
The newspaper noted that hacker
attacks have emerged as an urgent challenge for governments and corporations
around the world in recent years.
