A ring of Indonesian hackers on Monday claimed to have attacked a list 
of more than 120 Web sites as retribution for Malaysia’s alleged theft 
of Indonesian cultural items and abuse of migrant workers.

A statement was posted on a Blogspot blog titled "Terselubung" saying 
that a number of Malaysian Web sites had been hacked and defaced to 
"celebrate" Malaysia’s Independence Day, which fell on Monday August 31.

"Today, August 31, 2009, an uncreative country, a country who likes to 
steal Indonesian culture, a country whose citizen is the mastermind of 
bombings in Indonesia, a country who has tortured many of our sisters - 
the migrant workers who worked there, a country who abused our national 
anthem, a country who harassed Indonesia on the Internet, a country that 
has stolen Sipadan and Ligitan islands, a country which has trespassed 
our water illegally, a country which received their independence from 
Britain, is celebrating its anniversary," the Web site stated.

"As good Indonesian citizens, we will celebrate their independence in 
our own way. We are celebrating by undertaking a mass attack on the 
country’s Web sites," the statement continued.
