Criminal SPDC Junta and their
lap-dogs Cyber troopers
Dr San Oo Aung
The Last but not the least, latest crime of SPDC is the Cyber crime. Burma Digest readers may have already noticed that we even had to skip one week’s publication because of SPDC’s cyber attacks. SPDC Cyber troopers are trained in Russia, but were also trained by the Singaporeans, a US company and some Israel Mossad computer experts. Burma Digest was bombarded by repeated computer virus attacks. Even BD executive Editor Dr Tayza could not access or update or publish the BD server. His computer was also infested with a lot of viruses and even could not open and look at the e-mails.
In my computer also, there were numerous Trojan Horse Viruses. Some of them keep on searching the bd.executive file. At last I give up deleting the viruses and let them do what they want.
But one day they have to pay the price. If they give up power to the NLD led opposition, we could forgive and forget what they have done. But if they try to aggressively suppress the revered monks and the Burmese people, this Cyber crime may add up to the list of crimes the SPDC Junta and their lapdogs Cyber troopers have to answer at the International Criminal Court.

Hackers exploiting Myanmar crisis

KUALA LUMPUR: Computer users should be wary if they receive e-mail with links to the Dalai Lama’s website because one such e-mail going around comes with a malicious attachment, said security solutions vendor Sophos. The e-mail claims to be a message of support for monks and other protesters in Myanmar, from the Dalai Lama. But the attached document, if opened, will attempt to exploit a Microsoft Wordvulnerability to download a trojan program onto the victim’s computer. Sophos said the e-mail attachment bears the filename ” hhdl burma_001.doc.” This trojan opens a “backdoor” in infected computers to let the hacker control the computer remotely. The hacker can then steal passwords and other important personal information, such as bank account numbers, residing on the computer whenever the machine is connected to the Internet. “People around the world are hungry to hear about the latest situation in Myanmar and may be tempted to read this so-called message from the Dalai Lama,” said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, in a press release. Anyone receiving the e-mail should delete it immediately without reading the attached message, he added. Computer users are reminded that they should also have an antivirus program running on their machines and to download the very latest virus definitions.

My friend, a doctor called me and complained that he got the virus from Irrawady. His computer automatically shut down and rebooted many time. Last night my computer started the same process.
The Irrawaddy was shut down thanks to a mysterious virus probably planted by supporters of the ruling regime. But it now posts:
