Terkini - Pengodam Laman Portal Malaysia Dikenal Pasti

[[posterous-content:pid___1]]
PETALING JAYA: Polis telah memiliki maklumat penggodam-penggodam yang menyerang laman web rasmi kerajaan www.malaysia.gov.my pada Rabu lalu.

Bagaimanapun Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif CyberSecurity Malaysia, Leftenan Kolonel Datuk Husin Jazri berkata, maklumat lanjut mengenai serangan tersebut hanya dapat didedahkan setelah serangan penggodam berhenti sepenuhnya dan penyiasatan serta post-mortem dilakukan.

Menurutnya, laman www.malaysia.gov.my telah pun kembali pulih dan beroperasi seperti biasa.

Katanya, serangan penggodaman itu masih lagi berlaku tetapi pada kadar yang minimum berbanding sebelum ini.

"Kebanyakan laman web yang digodam telah pun kembali beroperasi. Hanya segelintir yang masih belum pulih dan kini di dalam proses pembaikan.

"Namun tiada apa-apa maklumat kerajaan atau data yang hilang, bocor atau dirosakkan oleh penggodam," katanya dalam satu kenyataan di sini , Jumaat.

Kumpulan yang menggelar diri mereka, Anonymous menyerang laman web kerajaan pada pukul 7.30 malam GMT, Rabu (3.30 pagi waktu Malaysia) dengan menamakannya sebagai 'Operasi Malaysia'.

Anonymous mendakwa kerajaan melarang tayangan filem dan televisyen selain mengehadkan Internet yang bagi kumpulan itu ia adalah hak asasi manusia yang asas.

Mengenai jumlah laman web yang digodam, Husin memberitahu, bilangan masih berubah-ubah disebabkan oleh serangan yang masih lagi berlaku.

Tambahnya, atas sebab-sebab keselamatan, pihaknya tidak dapat menyatakan jumlah terkini laman web yang digodam.

"Kini, tumpuan diberikan kepada usaha-usaha membaik pulih laman-laman web yang digodam dan membantu mereka mengembalikan operasi laman-laman web seperti biasa," jelasnya.

Husin turut menasihati semua pemilik sistem, sama ada di sektor awam mahupun organisasi swasta agar sentiasa berwaspada dan mengambil langkah-langkah yang perlu bagi memastikan keselamatan laman web mereka.

Ini kerana, katanya, ancaman penggodam bukan hanya tertumpu kepada laman-laman web milik kerajaan sahaja.

Mereka juga diminta supaya merujuk kepada CyberSecurity Malaysia, sekiranya laman web mereka digodam atau sekiranya mereka mengesyaki berlaku cubaan serangan.

Polis telah mengesan pengodam a.k.a Anonymous laman web Malaysia  

 

 

Polis mendapat petunjuk baru mengenai pihak yang menggodam laman web rasmi kerajaan dan swasta sehingga mengakibatkan sekurang-kurangnya 41 laman web agensi kerajaan mengalami gangguan sejak semalam.

Timbalan Ketua Polis Negara, Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar ketika mengesahkan perkara itu, bagaimanapun enggan mendedahkan petunjuk tersebut kerana bimbang menganggu siasatan.

 “Masih awal lagi untuk kita dedahkan siapa yang terlibat kerana siasatan sedang berjalan. Kita sedang membantu Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM) untuk menangani isu tersebut,” katanya pada sidang akhbar di sini hari ini.

Menurut SKMM, sebanyak 51 laman web tempatan telah digodam sehingga awal pagi ini menyebabkan 41 daripadanya mengalami gangguan pada tahap yang berbeza.

Serangan itu berlaku ekoran kenyataan sebuah kumpulan dikenali Anonymous untuk menggodam laman web rasmi kerajaan www.malaysia.gov.my semalam dengan alasan kononnya kerajaan mengenakan sekatan Internet.

Cops tracing source of hacker video message

 

The Star (15 June 2010)

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian police have started investigations into who posted the YouTube video message allegedly from the Anonymous hacker group.

Asst Comm Mohd Kamaruddin Md Din, head of the CyberSecurity and Multimedia Investigation Di-vision, at the Commercial Division of the Royal Malaysian Police, said they would be liaising with the telecommunications industry watchdog.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is the industry regulator.

"We have advised the relevant agencies involved to be alert following the threat," Kamaruddin said.

The video message posted yesterday said the hacker group was going to attack the www.malaysia.gov.my portal because the MCMC had banned several file-sharing websites, as well as for several other reasons. A similar message was also posted on another website.

CyberSecurity Malaysia, which is responsible for safeguarding the nation's borders in cyberspace, said it takes all cyberthreats seriously.

"We are aware of the hacker threat and we believe that the threat is real. We have alerted the relevant parties and government agencies," said Lt Col (Rtd) Datuk Husin Jazri, chief executive officer of CyberSecurity Malaysia.

It was learnt that a high-level emergency meeting took place yesterday between the relevant authorities, including the National Security Council and CyberSecurity Malaysia, over the threat.

Attack on govt website will be prevented, says Rais (Updated)
The Star (15 June 2011)

KUALA LUMPUR: The country's cyber security authorities are working towards preventing a planned attack on Malaysian government website www.malaysia.gov.my, said Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.

However, he declined to elaborate on the preventive actions, saying that they were confidential.

A hacker group, calling itself Anonymous has threatened to launch the attack on the government's official website at about 3.30am Thursday.

The group said in a Youtube posting that it was acting against the various forms of censorship by the Malaysian government and the recent move to block 10 file-sharing websites.

Dr Rais added that the hacker group had misunderstood the government's intention in blocking the 10 filesharing websites.

"We do not have censorship, except when crimes are committed through cyberspace," he said, adding that the ministry was taking the threats very seriously.

Meanwhile, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar said the police was aware of the hack threat and was working with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC)to investigate the issue.

He added that there was a rise in cyber crimes including the misuse of the Internet for criminal activities.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Setelah MCMC mengeluarkan kenyataan berkenaan halaman yang digodam semalam, kini Menteri Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan Malaysia, iaitu Rais Yatim telah pun mengeluarkan kenyataan daripada pihak mereka, mengatakan sebanyak 198 laman web rasmi kerajaan telah digodam sehingga kini.

 

Menariknya berkenaan perkara ini adalah dimana lebih 90% daripada penggodamnya adalah dari dalam negara, iaitu dari Malaysia sendiri, dan bukannya pihak luar. Walaupun, kami di Amanz melihatnya ianya sebagai salah satu tanda protes keatas tindakan SKMM menghalang akses ke lebih 10 laman perkongsian tempatan, menurut pihak Rais Yatim, mereka percaya ianya bermotifkan politik serta pada masa yang sama bertujuan cuba melakukan sabotaj ke atas kerajaan Malaysia.

Pada masa yang sama, ianya juga dikatakan yang mana kerajaan telah meminta Jabatan Peguam Negara, Polis Diraja Malaysia, SKMM, MAMPU, dan agensi kerajaan yang lain mengumpulkan data-data yang berkaitan dengan perkara ini.

Sebelum ini, pada awal minggu ini, kumpulan pengodam yang dipanggil Anonymous telah menghantar mesej cabaran kepada kerajaan Malaysia dalam bentuk video dan juga sebuah imej, sebagai tanda lawan kerana penghalangan akses ke beberapa laman luar.

Cyber / Hackers Attack: A few precautions on protecting your websites and applications -

As most of us already aware, a local newspaper has reported that a foreign group, which calls itself Anonymous, launch a cyber attack at 3.30am Thursday 16 June 2011 (Malaysian time) and has named it “Operation Malaysia.” [http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/6/15/nation/8902375&sec=nation]. Their target will be website www.malaysia.gov.my. In wake of this event, TM Data Centre team would like to inform you that we will be monitoring closely all security equipment that we have on our data centres and stay on high alert for any sign of security breach attempt to our data centre network. Our team is putting more effort to ensure our security equipment are working at optimum level to protect data centre network and our valued customers.

We would also like to advise you to take a few precautions on protecting your websites and applications. We need to stress again that our security equipment are generally work at network level and traffic signature based only. This means they are not designed to protect website contents/coding and web applications. Unfortunately most successful attacks nowadays are web application attacks and probably including the one which will take place tomorrow morning. This kind of attacks are at the application level such as the notorious SQL Injection and XSS vulnerability attack. In order to protect your web application, listed below are some actions that you need to take which are (modified) tips provided on this link [http://www.eukhost.com/forums/f15/how-prevent-website-being-hacked-6024/]:

Avoid using older versions of software as they are insecure. Use the latest release which includes few security fixes and functionality as well.

2. 3rd Party Scripts and Code

Plug-in, widgets or any other code you usually install are written by other people under unknown circumstances. Make sure you research any code you wish to use but you haven't written yourself.

3. Using exploited PC

One of the biggest reasons of Identity theft and an easy way for someone to fetch confidential details to your site(s). Your personal computer could well turn out to be a weak link in this. It could be anything, from an infected PowerPoint file or someone phishing your account details, the vulnerabilities are too many to consider. No matter how secure your actual website is, if the machine you use to access, log in and edit your web pages is infected you stand a grave risk of being compromised and its outcome may be more than just the effect on your site. Use antivirus scans, clear logs, secure your passwords and be aware of general security issues. Public wifi spots are also a security risk.

4. Secure Passwords for your website and database

A secure password goes a long way in making it difficult for a potential infiltrator to intrude into. Your passwords should always be a combination of letters, numbers and special characters. The longer the password, the better. You can also generate a random password which is even more secure.

5. Checking Your Website Logs Regularly

If you spot any unusual traffic spike in your website stats (ranking for gambling, pharmaceuticals and sex terms is a common one) try working out where it is coming from and going to. From there if you can make sure whether it is a hack.

6. Backups:-

Taking the backups regularly alone won't protect your website from being hacked. In case of hack you will need to take care of the following:-
* Records of IP's accessing your website
* Pre hack backup of your website including the latest updates.

We hope that your websites and web applications will not be affected in any way by the alleged attack. As mentioned earlier, our security equipment can only work effectively on network layer but in any event that you unsure or believe that your website or web application is showing any symptom of being attacked, please feel free to contact us so that we can advise or suggest to you some mitigation measures for your website or web application.

1Gbps, fiber-to-the-home service… for $69.99 a month.

Installing aerial fiber optic lines for the Sonic.net trial project

American ISPs have convinced us that Internet access is expensive—getting speeds of 100Mbps will set most people back by more than $100 a month, assuming the service is even available. Where I live in Chicago, Comcast's 105Mbps service goes for a whopping $199.95 ("premium installation" and cable modem not included). Which is why it was so refreshing to see the scrappy California ISP Sonic.net this week roll out its new 1Gbps, fiber-to-the-home service… for $69.99 a month.

Sonic.net has been around since 1994, selling DSL service in California, but it has recently expanded into fiber; the company has even secured the contract to manage Google's own 1Gbps fiber network that will connect 800+ faculty homes at Stanford University.

Sonic.net's new approach to broadband involves stringing its own fiber lines to homes and offering bargain-basement pricing; indeed, the new 1Gbps offering is the same price as the company's earlier bonded 40Mbps DSL offering (in which two phones lines each provide 20Mbps of bandwidth to a home). The price even includes home phone service.

Sonic.net

Is this really a sustainable model? After all, Comcast offers 1.5Mbps service for a list price of $40; Sonic.net's new offering is more than 600x faster at only twice the price.

Dane Jasper, Sonic.net's CEO, tells me that the new fiber-to-the-home deployment is a trial and will reach about 700 homes when complete. "Honestly, only as those wrap up will we have a complete picture of the economic model," he says. "But I believe that fast service for a low cost is possible."

If the pilot in Sebastopol, California goes well, Sonic.net hopes to expand the service across the region.

Sonic.net

Jasper doesn't think like a typical US Internet exec; in an interview last year, he made clear that his company tries to avoid artificial limits as a way to make more money. "The natural model when you have a simple duopoly capturing the majority of the market is segmentation: maximize ARPU [average revenue per user] by artificially limiting service in order to drive additional monthly spending. But fundamentally this is the wrong model for a service provider like us, and we have looked to Europe for inspiration… I believe that removing the artificial limits on speed, and including home phone with the product are both very exciting."

Though the current trial is small-scale, Sonic.net's pricing reminds us just how much room there is in the US Internet market for truly disruptive pricing of the kind that Google has been promising—but on a much larger scale—with its 1Gbps fiber builds in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas.

Lebih Daripada 90 Halaman Web Digodam semalam

Seperti sedia maklum, kumpulan pengodam yang dinamakan Anonymous telah pun mengatakan yang mana mereka akan godam laman kerajaan, Malaysia.gov.my pada pagi ini, sekitar 3 pagi kelak. Namun begitu, lebih awal daripada itu, ianya kelihatan beberapa laman kerajaan telah pun diserang oleh penyokong mereka.

Antara laman web yang telah digodam, termasuklah halaman web CIDB.gov.my, JBiotech.gov.my, UiTM Penang, TourMalaysia.com.my, KRU Studios, Parlimen.gov.my dan beberapa laman lagi. Laman Malaysia.gov.my juga kelihatan seperti tidak boleh diakses, dan seperti dibawa ke halaman Staging.Malaysia.gov.my. Buat masa ini, ianya kelihatan yang mana beberapa laman web telah digantikan halamannya, serta beberapa yang lain digodam menggunakan DDOS.

 Yes World menyediakan laporan awal pengodaman tersebut, dimana ianya dilihat lebih 20 disenaraikan samada digodam ataupun ditutup.

 
COVERAGE OF ATTACK:

Hacker group Anonymous launched their attack on websites owned by Malaysia's government in an effort dubbed 'Operation Malaysia'. In a statement posted on several online portals such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, the vigilante group revealed the reasons behind the attack, saying that it was done to teach the country's administration a lesson for censoring whistle blower site WikiLeaks, as well as the recent blocking of file-sharing websites which they claim is in violation of human rights. Multiple websites were brought down in the attack, although reports on the number of those affected varied from once source to another.

Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission issues statement on #OpMalaysia

Submitted by l33tdawg on Thu, 06/16/2011 - 03:37

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE MALAYSIAN COMMUNICATIONS AND MULTIMEDIA COMMISSION (MCMC) IN RELATION TO THE HACKING OF MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT WEBSITES BY UNKNOWN HACKERS

Cyberjaya – Regarding the threat by unknown hackers to attack websites with the .gov.my domain, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) confirms that there were indeed attempts to hack several websites, including www.skmm.gov.my.  The attempt to hack MCMC’s website was not successful.

These attacks started at approximately 11.30pm, on 15 June 2011. We are able to confirm that 51 .gov.my websites were attacked and there has been disruption at various levels to at least 41 of those websites.  However, we do not expect the overall recovery to these websites to take long as most websites have already recovered from the attack.

Our monitoring of the situation showed that there was a reduced level of attacks by 4.00am this morning and upon further evaluation, so far we gauge that there has been little impact on Malaysian users as a result of this attack.

MCMC’s Network Security Center has been making concerted efforts to mitigate the attacks around the clock and will continue to work with other enforcement agencies and security experts as well service providers to monitor the situation.

The public is advised to report any information they may have regarding the identity of these hackers as the act to disrupt network services is a serious offence, which is punishable by law.”

http://news.hitb.org/content/mcmc-issues-statement-opmalaysia

Cyberjaya – Further to the statement that was made by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) this morning on the issue of the hacking of Government websites by unknown hackers, MCMC is able to confirm that most of the attacks were Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks which made it difficult for Internet users to access the websites.

In total, MCMC’s Network Security Centre detected service outages to 91 websites, 51 of which are Government-related websites. Out of the 91 websites, 76 have been recovered, so far with work continuing to achieve speedy recovery as soon as possible.  Typically, if a website has been hacked, website administrators would have to evaluate the damage caused by the attack and then proceed to restore access to the website. In most cases, strengthening of the security measures will also be part of the process. 

As of 4.00pm this afternoon, most Government-related websites are accessible to the public and have either not been affected by the service outages or have recovered from the attacks.

The MCMC would like to advise the public to exercise due caution as they would whenever making a transaction over the Internet.

Internet Archive starts backing up digital books on paper

Modified shipping containers used by the Internet Archive

If you want real long-term backups of digitized ebooks, then look no further than dead tree. At least, that's the consensus of the Internet Archive project, which has announced an incredibly ambitious plan to store one physical copy of every published book in the world.

"Internet Archive is building a physical archive for the long term preservation of one copy of every book, record, and movie we are able to attract or acquire... The goal is to preserve one copy of every published work," writes IA's Brewster Kahle in a lengthy blog post about the plan.

Kahle cites a number of reasons for wanting to preserve physical copies of works that are being digitized; for instance, a dispute could arise about the fidelity of the digital version, and only access to a copy of the original would resolve it. Kahle also told Kevin Kelly that we'll eventually want to rescan these books at an even higher DPI, so the digital copies will be waiting when we do.

Another reason for keeping a physical copy, and one that Kahle doesn't mention, is that the problem of long-term digital storage still isn't completely solved. The cloud as a large-scale storage medium has only recently emerged, and it's definitely not perfect as a long-term archival medium. Digital archivists have long pointed out that given a sufficient length of time, data loss is a problem even for highly redundant, highly available, distributed storage systems. Apart from the well-known phenomenon of bit rot, bits can get flipped for any number of reasons as they traverse a network and multiple software stacks, and ECC and other failsafes don't catch 100 percent of these errors. So on a long enough time horizon with a large-enough, complex-enough system, these undetected, flipped bits will begin to accumulate.

Realistically, Kahle and Co. expect to preserve 10 million books, out of an estimated 100 million published. These will be packed into climate-controlled storage containers, and stored in a facility in Richmond, CA that opens this month.

Kahle describes the details of the physical preservation as follows:

• Books are cataloged, and have acid free paper inserts with information about the book and its location,
• Boxes store approximately 40 books with labeling on the outside,
• Pallets hold 24 boxes each,
• Modified 40′ shipping containers are used as secure and individually controllable environments of 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 30% relative humidity,
• Buildings contain shipping containers and environmental systems,
• Non-profit organizations own and protect the property and its contents.

In order to reach its goal of collecting one of every book ever made, the Internet Archive is soliciting contributions of books from everyone from libraries to individual collectors.
