SMU Associate Professor of Law Eugene Tan commented that Government websites have become lightning rods for hackers after Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s warning to track down a group that announced plans to hack government online portals. “The hackers will be very keen to see how strong your resolve is, how effective your systems really are and if they can get bragging rights,” Associate Prof Tan said. “It’s embarrassing for Singapore” to have the sites compromised, he added. Singapore authorities are investigating a breach of PM Lee’s website last night.
