Two members of Anonymous Cambodia, an arm of the global hacking group, were arrested this month on charges of infiltrating government websites and stealing sensitive data, following an eight-month operation by local authorities and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), according to a statement posted Tuesday on the National Police website.
Bun Khing Mongkul Panha, 21, who goes by the online names Sex Machine and Black Cyber, and Chou Songheng, 21, who goes by Zoro, were arrested on April 7 for hacking a total of 30 government websites, including those of the National Election Committee (NEC), Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defense, Anti-Corruption Unit and Phnom Penh Municipality, as well as some private sector sites, according to the statement.
Mr. Panha confessed to hacking the sites, while Mr. Songheng said he was only Mr. Panha’s student, the statement said.
“He just wanted to learn about it. That is why he decided to join the hacker group,” the statement said of Mr. Songheng.
Both men were third-year students at the SETEC Institute, a Phnom Penh-based university offering degrees in information technology.
