RI hackers vent anger against KL

INDONESIA: A territorial dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia
moved into cyberspace on Wednesday as Indonesian hackers launched
attacks on Malaysian websites.

Government sites were the main targets of the campaign which
came on top of three days of street protests against Malaysia's
granting of an oil concession off Kalimantan island in an area
claimed by both countries.

In one attack on a website belonging to the office of the
Sultan of Perak, Malaysia's second-largest state, visitors were
greeted by the word "Indonesia" on a red-and-white background --
the colors of the national flag.

Scrolling text also carried the sentences: "Indonesia is
united" and "do not disturb my land".

The Malaysian public works department's website was also
defaced, but was restored later on Wednesday.

Malaysia and Indonesia have overlapping border claims in the
Sea of Sulawesi. Since the oil concession was granted last month,
warships and fighter planes have been mobilized with both sides
accusing the other of incursions.

The foreign ministers of the two countries are scheduled to
meet over the dispute here later on Wednesday. -- AFP
