Yes. From the statements by police. Five other men/women were arrested for defacing gov websites.
Anyway, traps were probably laid even before the "messiah" was caught. So, catching those lousy/non-pro hackers was a piece of cake.
Some dumb asses just happily joined in the fun and now ended up in police station.
Many people do not understand the implication of being caught using home computers to commit crimes. All the electronics devices(PC, notebook, ipad, tablets or whatever) will be confiscated by police and send for forensic scanning.
So, if you got porn... 1 more charge.
involve in illegal online betting ... 1 more charge
using commercial software without licenses.. 1 more charge by police and x no. of charge possible by IP owners.
illegal moneylending...??
i thought they are "International Hackers". In a Little Red Dot where can you hide? Even Fts know that you can run but nowhere to hide. And they are all Singaporeans? Are they potential IMH patients or what?
I recalled an incident happened long time ago in Singapore
A group of scholar engineers from a GLC, invented a "hacker-proof" storage system. They are so confident that a global challenge was offerred to hackers. In fact, I was convinced then. The result? The system was hacked within minutes after the system was up and online.
The moral of the story? The international hackers were more capable than we thought. Those caught are amateurs.

You are right, the real hackers are public shy they won't usually announce when they are coming best don't piss them off or tempt them. Real attack are usually ddos (distributed denial of service) imagine you are trying to access a website or service you find slow because of heavy network traffic but how do you if it is really network traffic or somebody created a massive traffic bomb and dumped it on your site? Very hard to determine.
it was what happen to wikileaks when us government tried to shut them down using ddos. They created a massive massive traffic and just re-directed it on wikileaks the result was system was overwhelmed with request could not respond so nobody could access to it.
Other day 5th Nov I was at atm machine, behind this lady waited almost 10 minutes. I was thinking what she doing why so long still not done so I see and ask lady she say she trying to do transfer but is so freaking slow I immediately suspected either companies scanning their own network for vulnerability or kena ddos attack.
