The Bangladeshi Cyber Army has declared a cyber-war on Myanmar, accusing the country of killing innocent Muslims and its hackers of breaching Bangladeshi websites.

“We are Bangladesh Cyber Army. Recently, we have been seeing that the hackers of Myanmar are hacking our country's websites. Not only this, Myanmar is also killing the innocent Muslims of their country,” the hackers told Softpedia.

“This injustice over the Muslims and attack on the Bangladeshi cyber space has forced us to react. In this situation, we feel the necessity of a cyber war, against racists. We defeated Indians and it's their time now,” they explained.

“Human Rights Commission and other Governments who have the ability to stop all these are sitting idle under this situation. We request them to come forward and stand against injustice.”

To show that they’re serious, the hackers defaced the websites of Myanmar Tour and Travel, the University of Medicine in Mandalay, Myanmar Logistics Co, Client Focus Technology Group, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, The Royal Hantha Arts of Myanmar Artists, Myanmar Clover Hotel Yangon, and others.

A number of government websites have also been taken down by their administrators as a result of the attacks launched by the Bangladeshi Cyber Army.

The sites are the ones of the Ministry of Co-operatives, Central Statistical Organization, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry, Ministry of Construction, and the one of the government.

Myanmar, also known as Burma or the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, is located in Southeast Asia, Bangladesh being one of the countries it borders.

So now, we have cyber-wars between India and Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, and Bangladesh and Myanmar, just to mention a few.
