PKR deputy president Azmin Ali claims that his website had been hacked this morning, just a day after the party’s director of strategy Rafizi Ramli made similar complaints about his Facebook account.

When checked at 10am this morning, his website has been defaced with a black background, instead of the usual light blue livery.

“This is a warning to the leadership of Pakatan Rakyat,” said the hacker under the pseudonym ‘SGP Cyber Army’ on Azmin’s website.

NONE He said that the hacking attempt, dubbed “ Ops Goyang ” is meant to alert him to the fact that the website is vulnerable to such attacks.

“Don’t underestimate cyber attacks from your opponents (in the) coming 13th general election. They are more skillful and sophisticated than us.

“You can imagine if this website is fully captured by them! You are lucky because (of) our presence before they do,” he said.

NONE Despite the appearance of a stern but friendly warning, a press statement from Azmin’s office this morning says that they are not discounting the possibility that the hacking attempt was orchestrated by the party’s opponents, without naming them.

When checked again at about 2pm, Azmin’s website appears to have been restored to its original state.

Just yesterday, Rafizi ( left ) claimed that this Facebook account was hacked and was posting fake apologies to Defence Minister Zahid Hamidi regarding his allegations that the veterans’ pension funds were abused.

“I strongly deny any statement of apology. I am firm in my stand that the issue will be heard out in court, and I will not budge and will continue to question the abuse of the army veterans’ funds,” he said.
