Yeah, I have to acknowledge that the current situation is not that good compared to the previous years either in sense of economic or politics. Most of us have to bear the brunt of high petrol and diesel price, sudden hike of the rice price, shortage of food and many others even me myself not spared from having this grudge towards our current government. It is normal thing, unless you have some capital gain from this situation then perhaps you do not feel anything. And also it is a normal thing for all of us to voice out our disappointment, frustration, anger on this matter.
But whatever/whoever advocates this kind of activities like stated in this forum is not what I meant on voicing out. Why not for a change we start giving any constructive opinions and views instead of destructive ones? Defacing web sites prove nothing besides that you lack of ethics and like what I said before any many times in my last posts, web defacers are more publicity seekers and contributes nothing towards security industry.
Well if you really want to show your so called hacking skills, we have plenty of competitions like HITB Capture the Flags competition, UiTM’s i-Hack hacking competition and many more. Or you want to be like my friends geek00l and mel as security researcher, then get involve in the security industry and then choose which discipline you want to be either to be the assessor or simply defender. Btw I’m looking for competent members for my unit.
The main issue here is my friend is not about your hacking skills (I know that you have ‘em) but it is a question of ethics.
p/s: If you dun like our government then next time dun vote them lah.. As simple as that.
Yes hacking is a waste of time. But on the other hand, vulnerability of Malaysia government’s websites proved that MAMPU is sleeping and Multimedia Super Corridor or Multimedia Commission has failed in their duty to make Malaysia IT industry safe and respected.
Thanks for the comment,
Actually I didn’t say hacking is a waste of time, in fact it is not. But there are ways that we can perform our hacking techniques or enhance our skills and those creativities need to be channeled properly.
And yes i do agree with you that the response from the authority is abysmal but sometimes there are things that we didn’t know happened within certain agencies. Like applications/devices ownership and also the support given by the vendors in case of immediate responds required.
Unfortunately most of these vendors are mainly aim for the monetary perspective only and disregard any proper services for their own client and most of the time provide either slow or inappropriate support or respond to the agencies’ request.
