collective, has continued its attacks on government websites,
bringing down the Government House and Labour Ministry
sites on Friday night.
The attacks are part of a continuing protest against plans by
the military government to create a single gateway for
international internet traffic, which critics say will curb
freedom of expression.
F5CyberArmy, one of the members of
Anonymous, claimed
to have moved the two websites offline, and provided
host-checking data as proof.
As of Saturday evening, the Government House
site was
accessible but the Labour Ministry site was not.
In
another tweet, F5CyberArmy showed proof of the data
hacked from the CAT Telecom
website, challenging the
claim made on Friday by Information and Communication
Technology Minister Uttama Savanayana that the state
agency's data were intact
and the hackers did not get their
hands on real information.
The proof
looks like unencrypted customer e-mails in more
detail than the list it had
shown earlier, quesioning the
minister's claim that state IT systems and
prorocols were
up to standards, which require encryption of sensitive data.
News
of the proposal for a single gateway emerged last
month in a leaked cabinet
document. One of the aims of the
"Great Firewall of Thailand", as
critics dubbed it,
would be to help authorities curb "inappropriate" content
including lese majeste.
The public, the IT industry and businesses
condemned
the plan, saying that not only would it curb freedom of speech
but
also that it would lead to slower internet service,
higher costs and economic
losses. No IT companies
would be interested in investing in Thailand despite
the
country's stated aim to promote a digital economy,
business leaders said.
Anonymous launched the the latest phase of
its cyberwar
on Thursday.
It started by displaying data it claimed had come
from CAT
Telecom. CAT said earlier this week that it was still studying
the
single gateway idea.
Somkid Jatusripitak, the deputy prime minister in charge
of economic policy,
told the Bangkok Post Forum last week
that it was time to stop talking about a
single gateway because
it was not going to happen.
However, some of his cabinet colleagues
continue to say that
the idea has not been abandoned entirely.
In
one of its tweets at noon on Saturday, Anonymous said:
"The prime minister of Thailand, expect us.
News,General,Bangkok Post, 24 October 2015.
As blogger
and one of people who use internet every day,
I do not see the benefit of implement “single
gateway”.
For it will be infringe the right of people
in communicate
with the world internet.
Our
duty to protect lese majestic is
important and it is the
duty of every Thai people to do it but how many
people
who use internet interfere with the lese majestic
that is the
point to think.
I think internet is for everyone and most of
all is for business
reason
so the implement of single gateway will ruin the
business, the country and the rights of people that why
I oppose the single gateway.
Sincerely Yours.
