Indonesia's Official Web Site Hacked Over Porn Ban



Hackers have defaced the Web site of Indonesia's information ministry after the government moved to restrict access to pornographic material on the Internet.

The Southeast Asian country has had a vigorous debate over pornography in recent years, exposing deep divisions in the Muslim-majority nation. And Indonesia's parliament recently passed a new information bill that criminalizes the transmission of pornographic material.

So Hackers got into the information ministry's Web site and posted a message saying: "Prove that the law has not been made to cover government stupidity."
The message was accompanied by a mocked-up photograph of a local information technology expert, who has been advising the government on the new law, depicted with a bare chest.

Under the proposed law, anyone found guilty of transmitting pornographic material, false news or racial and religious hate messages on the Internet could face up to six years in prison or a fine of over $100,000. The message has since been removed and the Indonesian Web site is running normally
