Abuse of PMO website: Unemployed man admits to charges

SINGAPORE - A jobless man admitted on Tuesday to a raft of charges under the Computer Misuse and Cybersecurity Act, most of which involved the entering of unauthorised script into the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) website on Nov 7 last year.

Abusing a Google search box embedded on the page, Mohammad Azhar Tahir, 27, created script which would generate an image referencing international hacktivist group Anonymous, when triggered.

Then on various social media websites, he posted a link containing the script, which superimposes a Guy Fawkes mask and a sentence reading "It's great to be Singaporean today" over what the site's search page would normally display.

Internet users clicking the link would form the impression that the PMO website had been defaced though data on its server had not actually been altered, leading to widespread public speculation and concern, the prosecution said.

SINGAPORE - Undeterred by the Government's warning that it would deal with those who threaten to attack Singapore's cyber infrastructure, a hacking enthusiast tested his skills on the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) website.

Mohammad Azhar Tahir, 28, was sentenced to two months' jail on Monday for entering unauthorised computer code into the site on Nov 7 last year.

But the jobless man's total term comes to six months, after including punishment for related computer misuse offences. These included mooching off a neighbour's wireless Internet service, and modifying social media and e-mail accounts that belonged to Ah Boys To Men actor Muhammad Ridhwan Azman, 21.

Mohammad Azhar had targeted the PMO website after hearing about the warning, which had been issued by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. This came after someone claiming links with international "hacktivist" group Anonymous threatened to hit out at Singapore's computer networks.

Instead of proper search terms, Mohammad Azhar entered HTML code into a Google bar embedded in the PMO site. This resulted in a modified page that referenced Anonymous.

Internet users who clicked on a link containing script for the page, which he posted on various social media websites, would see a Guy Fawkes mask and two messages instead of what the search results page would normally display. The messages were: "It's great to be Singaporean today" and "ANONYMOUS SG WAS HERE BIATCH".

Mohammad Azhar had pleaded guilty on Nov 11 to seven of 59 charges.

He committed the PMO site intrusions with a technique known as cross-site scripting (XSS) - one of various methods he had picked up over several years out of interest.

His brother, Mohammad Asyiq Tahir, 22, was also dealt with on Monday for computer misuse. The national serviceman was placed on 18 months' probation after pleading guilty to five of 11 offences. These largely involved tampering with Mr Muhammad Ridhwan's email and social media accounts. None concerned the PMO website server.

For each of two counts of securing unauthorised access to the website server, Mohammad Azhar could have been jailed for up to three years and fined up to $10,000.
