Hackers deface Eu Yan Sang website, leave haze-related messages

Singaporean traditional Chinese medicine company Eu Yan Sang had its website hacked on Thursday morning.

The message posted on its website by a hacker who went by the name "bambu", read: "Do not insult our country just because of smoke in the air in your country.

"You should not just blame Indonesia for the polluted air. Blame the wind, and who told the wind to blow to your country."

A check showed that "bambu" had also hacked into at least one other site, ineltronics.com. Both hacking instances were supported by the "Indonesia J.A.M.5 Team", according to the text on both sites.

Eu Yan Sang's website has since been restored, while ineltronics.com remains defaced.

Then blamed Indonesia more from now onwards .. so who cares to hack them back and put a Muslim eating pork pic on it.

No worries... Eu Yan Sang's sale must be very well becos of the Haze! Tonics & Herbal tea... In fact their CEO should thank the Indonesians for burning and giving them free publicity!

This only shows that Eu Yan Sang, despite having spent a fortune on branding and marketing (and constantly bragging about its 'history', go to one of its stores and see for yourself), couldn't or didn't care about configuring its corporate website properly.

At least this hacker merely left ASCII art and messages. Other malicious hackers may not be so nice.

Secure your website or get pwned again.
