A video purportedly by computer hacker group Anonymous has threatened the Singapore Government with an “aggressive cyber intrusion” if it did not remove its Internet licensing framework.

The 3-minute 42-second video was uploaded on The Real Singapore website.

It was first posted on YouTube on Oct 29, but has since been removed by the user.

The video is narrated with what is believed to be a computerised voiceover, protesting against the Government’s new licensing rules imposed on news websites.

While it remains to be seen how genuine the video is, cyber security experts The New Paper spoke to said it was a very serious matter.

Such videos proclaiming war against the Government actually contravene the penal code, and the possible penalty is death, said one lawyer.

When a hacker named “The Messiah” loudly proclaimed his intention to launch a cyber attack against the Government, it is an attack on all of us, writes TNP deputy editor Melvin Singh in a commentary.

A cyber attack on the Singapore Government infrastructure is an attack on our way of life.

It is time for the silent majority online who do little when netizens break laws to stand up against online criminality.

If you mollycoddle online criminality, people like “The Messiah” will grow bolder and more defiant.
Those who hack must get whacked.
