Rekans, saya butuh comments apa saja dari anda perihal berita ancaman cyberwar
berikut ini dari kalangan pro-kemerdekaan EastTimor untuk saya muat di news
website saya.
(1) Lepas dari soal-soal politiknya, seberapa terkenalkah kemampuan/reputasi
hacker negara-negara yang disebut itu?
(2) Secara teknis ada yang bisa menerangkan untuk saya, apa yang dilakukan
ketika seseorang meng-hack server TNI, Deplu dan instansi pemerintah lain.
Bukankah main computer mereka dilindungi dengan passwords?
(3) Seberapa aman server instansi pemerintah kita dan juga bank-bank dari
kemungkinan perusakan melalui jaringan internet seperti yang diancamnya?
(4) Virus apa lagi yang bisa dikirimkan dan melalui apa, e-mail?
(5) Di alinea-alinea terakhir pernah ada reputasi hecker Indonesia
mengacak-acak website pro-kemerdekaan tahun lalu di Connect-Ireland. Ada
yangpernah dengar siapa mereka atau dia itu. Sebegitu 'hebat'kah hecker
Indonesia?
(6) Ada yang tahu sedikit detil saat website militer dan Deplu kita
diacak-acak orang dua tahun lalu seperti disebut di alinea terakhir.
Thanks berat untuk bantuan anda.
Salam, Gunadi

East Timor independence leader threatens cyberwar on Indonesia
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - A leader of the East Timor resistance
movement has threatened to unleash computer warfare on Indonesia if
it prevents a free vote in an upcoming independence referendum for
the troubled territory.
"More than 100 computer wizards, mostly teenagers in Portugal,
Spain, Ireland, Belgium, Brazil, the U.S. and Canada ... are
targeting the entire computer network of the Indonesian government,
army, banking and finance institutions to create chaos," Jose Ramos
Horta said in a newspaper commentary published Wednesday.
"A dozen special viruses are being designed to infect the
Indonesian electronic-communications system, including aviation,"
claimed Horta, co-winner of the 1996 Nobel Peace prize. His
commentary was published in the Thai newspaper The Nation and
Australia's Sydney Morning Herald.
Horta said that if the referendum is unfair, the pro-independence
movement would also try to hurt Indonesia's tourist industry, with
tactics including a worldwide boycott of tourism to the resort
island of Bali.
"East Timorese groups have set aside what is called a `war
budget' running to several million dollars to wage a sustained
public-relations war aiming at hurting Indonesia's tourism," he
said.
Horta also wrote that he believed a free vote in the
U.N.-supervised referendum on Aug. 30 would show "an overwhelming
majority of East Timorese" favoring independence.
"But the conditions on the ground remain far from appropriate
for a free and democratic ballot to take place," he said, adding
that the vote "could turn into the biggest election fraud of modern
times."
The referendum will give East Timor's people a choice between
full independence or staying part of Indonesia as an autonomous
region.
Indonesia occupied the former Portuguese colony in 1975 and East
Timor has been wracked by guerrilla warfare and human rights abuses
since then.
Predicting that full-scale violence before or after the ballot is
now almost certain, he accused the Indonesian army of "clinging to
the illusion that through terror and fraud it will secure a
pro-integration vote."
In such a case, Horta predicted that Indonesia could face
political and economic sanctions worldwide, in addition to attacks
in cyberspace.
In January this year, a computer hosting a pro-independence
website had to be temporarily shut down after attacks by hackers who
could not be traced.
The Irish Internet service provider Connect-Ireland was the
target of a coordinated attack from as many as 18 different points.
The company indicated in a statement at the time that it suspected
the Indonesian government was behind the action.
The company had set up the so-called top-level domain name on the
Internet for East Timor. The name is the two-letter suffix
indicating country at the end of international Internet addresses,
in this case `tp'.
Connect-Ireland also hosts a pro-independence East Timor website.
In less serious incidents in early 1997, Portuguese hackers broke
into the websites of the Indonesian military and foreign ministry,
and defaced their homepages with pro-independence propaganda.
