Hackers seized Constitutional Court website after protester ruling

[Coss]

In response to the Constitutional Court making a controversial decision that pro-democracy demonstrations, and the speeches leaders gave at them, were considered an illegal attempt to overthrow the government and monarchy, computer hackers took over the Court’s website homepage and did some redecorating.

The website was hacked and text was changed to display the phrase “kangaroo court” – a slang term for an authority without credibility that ignores rules or laws. The homepage also linked to a music video on YouTube for the song Guillotine by US-based hip-hop group Death Grips. The band hails from Sacramento, California’s capital city and the song is an experimental abrasive hip-hop track with a low-budget video featuring MC Ride shouting lyrics from a car with glitchy black and white static in the windows.

The song is relatively obscure and released 10 years ago – a curious choice for hackers to display but certain rile tempers for advocates of the Court. The website hasn’t been restored and, as of this writing, http://www.constitutionalcourt.or.th/ is completely offline.

Good on them the court ruling WAS something expected from a Kangaroo Court.

This  Military Dictatorship / So Called Government is scared of its own shadow. Protest for reform is not trying to overthrow the Monarcy, but wanting REFORM, as for overthrowing the Government, a rather hypocritical comment from a Dictatorship which came to power by overthrowing a democratically elected government. 
A couple of days ago they were saying the opposition. Could not OPPOSE the government, now not allowed to push for reforms, what a tinpot dictatorship.
