Major Hack in Chile

A hacker who identified himself as "Anonymous Coward" stole personal data of 6 million Chileans on a Chilean website.





The historic rivalry between Peru and Chile spills into cyberspace as hackers from both nations attacked official sites of each other.Recently a Hacker Puts Peru's Flag on Chilean President's Web Page and another hacker (from Chile this time) returned the favour by putting up a Chilean flag on the Peruvian president's website.Sometime ago , a suspected Chilean hacker posted several anti-Peru messages on the country's judiciary website.

Here's what I don't understand....Even with so much"hacking" happening , why don't governments work to either:

a)Eliminate the use of internet to store personal documents(esp. when it concerns 6 million people)


b)Strengthen the web defences at least when the webpage is prone to sensitive websites like the national defence website.

C'mon don't let novices hack into your sites.......

Hope someone atleast pays heed to this!!!

I am from chile and I would like to clarify that this number was largely exaggerated by the intenational media

recent reports have shown that the actual number was far less, and approximately 20000 or even lesser.

while I do agree that it is sad this happened, sensationalizing news like this is simply wrong
