Hackers have been hard at work in Indonesia, defacing web sites left right and center in protest at the treatment of a local hacker who defaced the president’s web site earlier this month and could now face a 12 year jail term.

Internet café worker Wildan Yani Ashari, 22, was cuffed by police last Friday just over a fortnight after he replaced the home page of president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) with the message: “This is a PayBack From Jember Hacker Team”.

Ashari, who hails from the East Java district of Jember, has been charged under local laws which could land him 12 years in the slammer and a maximum fine of IDR 12bn (£784,000), according to local news site Detik.
