Abuse of PMO website: Unemployed man admits to charges
SINGAPORE - A jobless man admitted on Tuesday to a raft of charges under the Computer Misuse and Cybersecurity Act, most of which involved the entering of unauthorised script into the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) website on Nov 7 last year.
Abusing a Google search box embedded on the page, Mohammad Azhar Tahir, 27, created script which would generate an image referencing international hacktivist group Anonymous, when triggered.
Then on various social media websites, he posted a link containing the script, which superimposes a Guy Fawkes mask and a sentence reading "It's great to be Singaporean today" over what the site's search page would normally display.
Internet users clicking the link would form the impression that the PMO website had been defaced though data on its server had not actually been altered, leading to widespread public speculation and concern, the prosecution said.
