This piece of police work is simply amazing and only deserves to be
commended. James Raj was charged in court this morning as The Messiah
that hacked into the several high profile sites recently, including
those of City Harvest and Sun Ho’s site. Details of the court proceeding
are available at the TRE. I just quoted some parts here for your info.
‘Mr Raj is accused of committing the offence in Malaysia from the
Dorchester Apartments at Jalan Sri Hartamas in Kuala Lumpur on 28
October 2013 at about 1.35pm. He was tracked down with the help of
Malaysian police.
He is said to have accessed the content management system of AMKTC and
modified the contents by adding the image of a Guy Fawkes mask to the
website (‘AMK Town Council falls victim to ‘The Messiah’‘)…
“I have been to various sites and seen how they take the initiative to
secure their systems. You have a brain & you have money. You had a
choice. Don’t blame external factors (Anonymous) for this hack. The
Messiah ”….
Mr Raj is alleged to have also hacked the websites of The Straits Times,
PAP Community Foundation and City Harvest Church’s co-founder and
singer Sun Ho.
James may face further charges later after the police
have completed their investigations.
Separately, the police have in custody 5 other suspects who are
assisting in investigations into the recent hacking of the Prime
Minister’s Office (PMO) and Istana websites. It is understood that the 3
suspects involved in the hacking of the PMO website are family members,
while the other 2 in the Istana case are Facebook friends. The men are
aged 17 to 45 years.’
It looks like the Police with the cooperation of the Malaysian
counterparts have the whole gang in the net. Just wondering if the ST
Online that was down for maintenance was hacked this morning. If so,
then some must still be out there. If not, then the IT crews on 24 hours
duty could take a break and stand down.
A flash in the pan?

How come that guy so lau ya one. So fast kena caught already. I think he low level hacker Tio Bo?
What a hopeless bunch of wannabe's lah.
Kena traced WTF,never even use VPN, SSH etc. Looks like not even an "escape" plan -- some kind of gambit to evade the cops -- who you know are relentless, well resourced, well connected, and have the law on their side.
Kotek. Deserved to be caught lah.

Interesting.
The way you were opining on this thought you should be very upset
Bullshit detection. Works well for most claims.
Next time some know-it-all from the govt opens their trap, apply the above.
Also good for seeing the con-job in advertisements, healthcare modalities like chiropractic and TCM, "nutrition" advice. You'll discover that what is almost universally claim is total BS.
The One that was caught never visited
My Singapore News, otherwise he would have read how to use proxies, VPN, SSH and foreign ISPs.
Matilah Singapura advised My Singapore News Readers many many times before.
But then there might be those looking for free lodging, food and medical care. And maybe even publicity leh.
@1107:
My "free advice" to people is simple: DON'T HACK NETWORKS FOR MALICIOUS AGENDAS, AND NEVER HACK ANYTHING WITHOUT THE OWNERS' PERMISSION.
If you are paranoid about net security -- like me -- then learn basic security for yur own self protection ;-)
