Defaced Webpages in Malaysia Part 2

That is the nice piece of blogging. There were a number of blogs writing about the defaced webpages in Malaysia and now, finally, The Star (Malaysia) has picked up the story. Please correct me if I am wrong here and another newspaper picked it up earlier.

The Star writes that about 45 webpages have been defaced since the beginning of the year, but that the attacks increased dramatically recently.

The Star continues to write that attacks against Malaysian websites are nothing new and provides background of some cases.

As I wrote yesterday, the main reason for those attacks probably is the lack of security implemented by operators of those sites.

I would suggest, in addition, that there are more attacks to come. I read somewhere, a while ago, that the security of US websites, for example, is extremely high and that it becomes more difficult for hackers to penetrate the system. That is the reason why they increasingly turn to attack websites of small businesses or home users who simply cannot affor the costs involved. May be, and just a suggestion, may be they discovered that the security installation in other countries, outside the US or Europe and some other countries are not necessarily the best as well?
