Malaysian authorities say, hackers have attacked government websites, following a threat by the Anonymous activist group which accused Malaysia of censoring the Internet. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in a statement today said, fifty-one government websites were targeted, causing disruptions to at least 41 of them. It said the attacks on websites with the .gov.my domain started shortly before midnight yesterday and lasted several hours, but appeared to have caused little damage. MCMC did not specify which websites were hacked, only saying its own site was targeted but that the hacking attempt was unsuccessful. The commission said it would work with enforcement agencies, security experts and service providers to keep the situation in check. Anonymous sabotaged Turkish sites last week to protest against Internet censorship. Its Malaysia attack plan threat followed an order by the MCMC to Internet service providers last week to block 10 file and video-sharing websites that it said violate copyright laws. The hackers explained the rationale for the attack in a YouTube clip, claiming that Malaysia's censorship was an erosion of human rights.
