Anonymous Hacks Thai and Turkey Police Stations

Uploaded on 2016-02-22 in TECHNOLOGY--Hackers, NEWS-Cybersecurity News, FREE TO VIEW

Anonymous hackers are contesting the decision of a Judge in Thailand, in the Koh Tao murder case.

On September 15, 2014, two British back papers, Hannah Witheridge, 23 and David Miller, 24, were killed on the Thai Island of Koh Tao. Soon after the crime, Thai police arrested two Myanmar migrant workers, which a Thai court sentenced to death in December 2015.

According to a 37-minute video posted on YouTube and Facebook, the Anonymous hacker collective has taken responsibility for cyber-attacks against 14 Thai police websites.

Affected websites include the Bangkok Metropolitan Police Bureau, the General Staff Division of Royal Thai Police, and numerous regional police stations. Hackers broke into Thai police Web servers and left a message on each one saying: "Failed Law. We Want Justice! #BoycottThailand."

Anonymous accuses Thai police of malevolence, flawed criminal investigations

According to statements made in the video, the hacking group is accusing Thai law enforcement of corruption, sentencing the two innocent workers in haste, only to clear up its reputation as a tourist-friendly country.

"Thai police have accused innocent people before, and would rather blame foreigners or migrants for such crimes so as to protect their tourism industry then accuse their own Thai locals, that may deter tourists from choosing Thailand as their holiday destination," said an Anonymous representative, accusing the government of using the murder sentences as media stunts.

The group also claims to have looked into the rape & murder case brought against the two migrant workers, Wai Phyo and Zaw Lin. The hackers compared documents obtained after breaching the police websites, to previous rape & murder investigations against other foreigners (like the Bali nine and Schapelle Corby sentences), and found multiple similarities.

These similarities include the loss of crucial DNA evidence, torture accusations against Thai police, crime scene contamination, ignoring autopsy reports, and many others.

Anonymous Hacks Turkish Police and Leaks Data

Also the year 2015 was a difficult year for Turkey due to the uncertain situation on the ground and cyber attacks conducted by Anonymous on high-profile targets such as banks and national domain registrar. 

Now hacktivist collective Anonymous claims to have dumped online a huge database belonging to Turkey’s General Directorate of Security (EGM) in response to “various abuses” by the Turkish government in recent months.

The hacker, believed to be using the pseudonym ROR [RG], chose to release the police files via The Cthulhu website – which has hosted Anonymous-backed leaks in the past including, most notably, the contents of a serious hack against a major US police union earlier this year.

The person who uploaded the database recently said he received it from a hacker who had “persistent access to various parts of the Turkish government infrastructure for the past two years.”

The compressed file is expected to weigh in at some 2.8GB, and the uncompressed version at around 17.8GB.
