Malaysia, KUCHING: A number of Malaysian hackers involved in attacks on more than 200 websites since last week have been identified.
Deputy Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusof said yesterday that their identities had been forwarded to the police.
Fadillah conceded that the attacks were a lesson for the Government on cyber security.
He declined to say how many hackers had been exposed or whether they would face prosecution.
“Please don't do this. Let us work together to develop a safer space in the cyber world,” Fadillah said.
Since the pre-dawn attacks began six days ago, many public and private sectors websites have been compromised.
Two days ago, the Ministry announced that it had traced about 90% of the attacks to Malaysian addresses.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, Fadillah confirmed that no more websites would be blocked by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for now.
“Our policy is that we are free. We won't censor unless you breach the law,” he said
