Gadfly Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I saw this on the Mangosauce website: The hackers who yesterday attacked and disabled Mango Sauce also targeted 2Bangkok.com. Both denial of service (DoS) attacks happened simultaneously on the eve of a major political rally against Thailand's military junta. This can't be a coincidence. My guess is that someone is testing the vulnerabilities of Bangkok's most popular Internet forums so that they can be quickly silenced in the event of a national crisis. Most Thailand-based forums - like19sep.org - have already been shut down, blocked or heavily censored by shadowy pro-government organisations but attacking websites located outside Thailand (Mango Sauce is hosted in the US) represents a dramatic escalation of this campaign. Internet Censorship Plans? Wondering it anyone knows anything about this and if this board has experienced anything similiar? I am posting now since, if this is right, this board might go down (?) for a bit if things go serously awry here (possible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Was told once that Governments sometimes issue licenses on the previso that they are allowed access to ISP operators should they deem the need necessary. Not sure how much truth there is in it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
