Singapore Prime Minister’s Website Hacked After Lee’s Threat

Singapore authorities are investigating a breach of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s website last night, one day after he said he would track down a group that announced plans to hack government online portals. The page for searches on the website of the Prime Minister’s Office was “compromised” at 11:17 p.m. yesterday, the country’s phone and Internet regulator said in an e-mailed statement today. “A vulnerability in that subpage was exploited to display pages from other sources,” the Infocomm Development Authority said in the statement. A subpage for searches on the Istana website, which is the main portal for the country’s president, was also compromised at 12:20 a.m., it said in a later e-mail.
