The systems of the Cambodian government continue to be targeted by hacktivists of Anonymous Cambodia. The hackers have disrupted several websites over the past days.

The list of targets includes the Press and Quick Reaction Unit (pressocm.gov.kh), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (mfaic.gov.kh), the Ministry of Economy and Finance (mef.gov.kh), and the National Bank of Cambodia (nbc.org.kh).

Cambodia New Vision, a news and information website approved by the country’s prime minister, has also been disrupted.

In addition to distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks, Anonymous Cambodia has also leaked information from the systems of the country’s Anti-Corruption Unit. They’ve also published a list of credit card details allegedly stolen from ACLEDA Bank, one of Cambodia’s largest commercial banks.

The hackers have refused to reveal their next targets. However, they’ve told me that they will continue their attacks until the people of Cambodia are satisfied with their government and with their lives.
