14 DAY TRIAL // Ten days after launching operation #BoycottThailand, the Anonymous hacker collective has just released 1GB of data stolen from the Supreme Court of Thailand.
The data, uploaded a few hours ago online, seems to have been stolen this past Wednesday, when Anonymous members launched DDoS attacks and later defaced a few hundred Thai court websites.
One of the Anonymous divisions involved in this operation, the Blink Hacker Group, seems to have accidentally stumbled upon a treasure chest when wanting to deface Thailand's Supreme Court website.
Hackers stole 1GB of court documents, payrolls, and more
In a statement put out by the hackers, they say that, besides information associated with the court's website, they also found data related to the institution's day-to-day operations.
Apparently, the court's sysadmin thought to be a good idea to use the Web server as a database for payroll slips, pension information, budget files, and criminal case data on the same machine.
The hackers took the data and are now offering it online, as part of their campaign against Thailand's corrupt justice and law enforcement system.
Anonymous #BoycottThailand aims to put pressure on the Thai legal system
Anonymous started #BoycottThailand after two Myanmar migrant workers were sentenced to death, having previously been accused of killing and raping two British tourists.
Anonymous has put together a 37-minute video and press statement detailing a long list of criminal cases against immigrants that were all based on dodgy evidence, involved torture, or where police lost crucial evidence that could have cleared the suspects. All these crimes were against foreign tourists that were visiting Thailand.
The hacking group says that Thailand officials are making a circus out of these trials so they can keep the country's image as a tourist-friendly state, even if it means convicting suspects on dodgy evidence.
