SINGAPORE: Suspected hacker James Raj Arokiasamy, who reportedly goes by the moniker "The Messiah", was handed an additional 105 charges in court on Monday (Aug 25).
This includes charges for securing unauthorised access into the Fuji Xerox webserver between Mar 1 and 24 last year. The theft of monthly statements of some 650 Standard Chartered Private Bank clients was reported last year from a server of Fuji Xerox, which provides third-party printing services for the bank.
James Raj is also accused of hacking into and making unauthorised modifications to a fan site created for City Harvest Church co-founder and pop singer Sun Ho. This happened on numerous occasions from Aug 28 to Sep 2, 2013.
The 36-year-old is also accused of scanning several City Harvest Church-related webservers on Oct 15 last year, and several government-related websites between Oct 18 and Nov 4 last year. The websites that were scanned included that of the Singapore Prison Service, Prime Minister's Office, Singapore Elections Department, and Ministry of Communications and Information.
In all, Raj faces a total of 162 charges, four of them, drug-related.
On June 6, he was charged on another 52 counts in open court. These included charges for hacking into the People's Action Party Community Foundation webserver and the Straits Times blog, as well as additional charges for the Ang Mo Kio Town Council website hacking incident.
James Raj had been charged on one count in November last year, for the hacking of the Ang Mo Kio Town Council website.
Proceedings took just a few minutes and James Raj, who has not been granted bail, showed little expression in court. A pre-trial conference date has been set for Aug 27. - CNA/ly

SINGAPORE - Hacker James Raj Arokiasamy pleaded guilty to 39 charges of computer misuse on Friday.
James Raj, 36, who goes by the pseudonym Messiah, admitted to more than 160 charges, including drug charges and for hacking into the webservers of Fuji Xerox, pop singer Sun Ho, who is the wife of City Harvest Church founder Kong Hee, as well as that of some government agencies.
He committed the offences in Malaysia between March and November 2013.
He was first charged in court in November 2013 with accessing the Ang Mo Kio Town Council website and modifying its contents. He also admitted to four drug-related charges.
In June 2014, he was charged with 52 counts of performing preparatory acts to secure access without authority and hacking into the webservers of People's Action Party Community Foundation (PCF) and Ang Mo Kio Town Council. Some of the charges state that he modified the contents of the "Whats New" banner.
In August 2014, he was further slapped with charges of performing an act preparatory to securing illegal access into the data held in the webserver of The Straits Times Blog; securing access by logging into the system using the login credentials of a Straits Times reporter, among other charges.
He did the same for Sun Ho's webserver by creating windows login account credentials and hacking into the server. He allegedly did this 43 times.
He also scanned City Harvest Church's related webservers and government-related ones including the Prime Minister's Office, prisons and the Ministry of Communications and Information.
In the case of Fuji Xerox, it was reported that February statements of 647 private banking clients of Standard Chartered Bank had been stolen through a server of Fuji Xerox.
Police found the statements in James Raj's laptop.
Singapore hacker dubbed "The Messiah" jailed almost 5 years

SINGAPORE - A Singaporean man who called himself "The Messiah" was sentenced to nearly five years in jail Friday for hacking into several servers, including the website of a district represented by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
District court judge Jennifer Marie said the stiff sentence she imposed on James Raj, 36, was meant to act as a strong deterrent to would-be hackers, and warned that cyber attacks posed "considerable danger to the economy and the country".
The ruling comes as Singapore this week sought to strengthen its defences against hackers, announcing it will set up a new agency to improve cyber security amid high profile hacking incidents worldwide.
Raj had pleaded guilty to 39 cyber-related charges, including the October 2013 hacking of the Ang Mo Kio district website, whose MPs include Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, and posting the image of a Guy Fawkes mask used by hacker collective Anonymous.
According to the charge sheet, Raj identified himself as "The Messiah" and carried out the hack from an apartment in Kuala Lumpur in neighbouring Malaysia.
He had fled to Malaysia after skipping police bail in 2011 for drug offences, before being extradited back to Singapore in November 2013.
Raj had used the "The Messiah" moniker before to hack a reporter's blog on the website of The Straits Times.
He had also secured unauthorised access into various other web servers, including those of Fuji Xerox and Standard Chartered Bank.
He also posted a video - purportedly from Anonymous - which demanded the scrapping of a law in Singapore requiring news websites to obtain annual licences.
"Singapore is a major IT centre both regionally and globally. Cyber intrusions and threats pose considerable danger to the economy and the country," the judge said.
The judge noted that state prosecutors had described the offences committed by Raj as "the largest, most prolific cyber attacks against IT systems in Singapore".
In December, a court jailed another hacker, 28-year-old Mohammad Azhar bin Tahir, for two months for defacing the prime minister's office website with mocking messages and pictures.
