SYDNEY – Activist group Anonymous
Indonesia on Monday claimed it had defaced more than 170 Australian
websites to protest at reports of Canberra spying on its nearest
neighbour and strategic ally.
“Hundreds of Australian Websites Attacked
for #OpAustralia By Indonesian Hackers,” it posted on Twitter, listing
the sites which appeared to be mostly small businesses that ended with
the Australian domain .au.
Calling up the web pages was met with the
message: “Stop Spying on Indonesia” underneath an Indonesian flag
imprinted with a black graphic of the face of Guy Fawkes, whose image is
used as a mask by Anonymous internationally.
The sites appear to have been selected at
random, covering businesses involved in everything from catering to dry
cleaning and bouncy castle hire.
Australia’s relationship with close
neighbour Indonesia is under pressure after reports last week that
Canberra’s overseas diplomatic posts were involved in a vast US-led
surveillance network.
Missions in Indonesia, as well as embassies
or consulates in China, were reportedly used to monitor phone calls and
collect data, sparking demands for an explanation from Jakarta and
Beijing.
On Sunday, The Guardian newspaper cited a
document from US whistleblower Edward Snowden showing Australia and the
US also mounted a joint surveillance operation on Indonesia during the
2007 UN climate change conference in Bali.
The Australian government has said it does not comment on intelligence matters.
Anonymous is believed to be a loosely
organized hacker collective that conducts online attacks
internationally, most recently in Singapore on Friday when a newspaper
website was defaced over Internet freedom in the city-state.
