    `Protect the King' webpage hacked

    `Protect the King' webpage hacked

    • Published: 4/12/2009 at 10:09 AM
    • Online news: Local News



    The government is tracking computer hackers who infiltrated the ``Protect the King'' website and replaced the webpage with a loan advertisement.

    ``We are tracking them down and are considering lodging a police complaint today,'' acting government spokesman Panitan Wattanayagorn said yesterday.

    PM's Office Minister Sathit Wongnongtoey confirmed the website had been hacked.

    The PM's Office learned about the hacking last night when a link to www.protecttheking.net from the government's official website, www.thaigov.go.th, showed a mortgage advertisement with a fairytale king illustration instead of the website's usual entry page. The ad was still posted last night.

    The government created the Protect the King website earlier this year to encourage citizens to make complaints about anyone who they think has committed an offence against the monarchy.

    The website, operating on the parliament's server, features background and commentary on His Majesty and the royal family.

    It can be accessed through the government's official website.

    Tracking hackers, eh? Looks to me like they forgot to renew the domain name as it's now owned by somebody in Liverpool. Typical Thai incompetence.

    Shouldn't be too much of a problem tracking down the new legitimate owners of the website, wonder what they will be charged with for buying a domain?

    Londonderry has moved to Liverpool which has moved to Tyneside. More New Labour gerrymandering, no doubt.

    The funny thing is the amount of reminders you get to renew domains, I had to block them as they just keep sending you reminders, ie you have 60 days to renew, then 30 days then loads more, it aint as if they keep it a secret when they need renewing.

    Yeah, but we all know Thai officials don't bother reading or answering emails written in English.

    Looks like Mr. James is going to make quite a bit of money selling the site back to the Thai govt.

    Lets never forget these 2 names, I'm sure in months to come they will be running the Thai cyber crimes division.

    I wonder if the person who forgot to renew will be charged?

    Luckily normally they use .co.th so can claim those sort back, as its a .net they lost it unless they are willing to pay the price the new owner wants

    James Taylor for one: this must be LM to inauspiciously grab a royal domain and I expect the Nation will be quoting Kasit saying that there is an interpol warrant out for this evil, nasty foreign scum and a close friend of the fugative Takkie Scouser
