City website hacked, again

JAKARTA: The city website Beritajakarta.com was defaced on Wednesday, the third time this year, according to an official.

The hackers changed words in its news articles, such as kuda (horse) for busway, monyet (monkey) for mobil (car), and Pemprov antah brantah (the administration of nowhere) for the Jakarta administration.

Website executive Haidil said Wednesday's disturbance was the third after the first in January and the second in June.

City spokesman Catur Laswanto said the administration would improve the website security to prevent similar incidents in the future.

"Such an incident had misled our readers, therefore we will improve the security of the website," he said, adding that the administration would not report the case to the police because the incident was minor. -- JP
