After TPB founder arrest - Hackers target Cambodia
Cambodia is the latest country to come under sustained attack from computer hackers after police in the tiny Southeast Asian country arrested one of the founders of The Pirate Bay file-sharing website last week.
A group calling itself NullCrew began hacking into government and commercial websites in the country after news of Gottfrid Svartholm Warg's arrest broke over the weekend. 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 founder of The Pirate Bay was arrested in Cambodia, so Cambodia is now a target," NullCrew said in a statement announcing the launch of what it calls #OpTPB—or operation The Pirate Bay. "They should have expected it when they did this," the group said. "Cambodia, we will not stop until you come to your senses."
