Eu Yan Sang website hacked

SINGAPORE - The website of Singaporean traditional medicine products company Eu Yan Sang was hacked this morning (June 27), seemingly in protest against the outrage voiced out in Singapore over the hazy skies stemming from forest fires in the Indonesian state of Sumatra. "Do not insult our country just because of smoke in the air in your country," read the statement put up by the hacker, who went by the monicker "bambu". "You should not just blame Indonesia for the polluted air. Blame the wind, and who told the wind to blow to your country." According to the text, the hacking of the mainboard-listed company's website was also "supported by the Indonesia J.A.M.5 Team". A check showed "bambu" had also hacked into sites including studymusicinlondon.com and ineltronics.com. In the latter, "bambu" stated on the defaced website: "From INDONESIAN, I am not HACKER (sic)." The Eu Yan Sang website has since been restored to its original state. Eu Yan Sang said no client or patient data or online payments were compromised as a result of this morning’s hacking. Group CEO of Eu Yan Sang Integrative Richard Eu also said in a statement that the incident has no financial impact on the group. He added that much tighter security standards are being implemented on all the group's web properties.
