***************************

Ang Mo Kio Town Council's website, www.amktc.org.sg, was compromised on Monday, once again by the hacker known as "The Messiah".

After the hacker's outings on Sun Ho's as well as the People's Action Party (PAP) Community Foundation websites, "The Messiah" left a message in a two-panel carousel on the town council's home page targeting both it and one of its members of parliament (MPs) Ang Hin Kee.

The first panel read, "I have been to various sites and seen how they take the initiative to secure their systems. You have a brain and you have money. You had a choice. Don't blame external factors (Anonymous) for this hack. - The Messiah Wink".

It linked to an article on sociopolitical site TR Emeritus reporting Ang's comments on the Woodlands bus interchange incident where a man was recorded on video spitting and verbally attacking other commuters over cutting a queue.

Clicking to the second panel revealed a second message, purportedly of Ang "tender(ing) (his) resignation as your minister of parliament'".

"I am incapable and have failed you," wrote the hacker, who added another link to a YouTube video about the Anonymous group of "hacktivists".

By about 5pm, administrators had locked the Town Council's website, requiring authentication to access it.
