Cambodian PM says his personal website hacked

Xinhua, May 7, 2016 Adjust font size:

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen announced that his personal website was hacked early Saturday at 4:12 a.m..

In a statement posted on his Facebook page, the prime minister said the hackers had changed pictures and posted a Khmer-language audio message on the website: www.samdechhunsen.gov.kh.

Also, they had stolen a large amount of data in the website, he said, adding that the hacking has caused disruption and harmed his reputation.

"This is a cybercrime that the perpetrators have openly committed on the official website of the prime minister of Cambodia," Hun Sen said. "The evidence shows that it is an undeniable act of the opposition group who always try to find dirt and dishonest ways to attack me."

He said the perpetrators must take responsibility before national and international law regardless of their root.

According to the prime minister, the government's experts on combating Information Technology (IT) Crimes have been investigating into the source of the hackers in order to bring them for prosecution. Endit
