[b]Odex website hacked
... bla bla bla
Users on sites like HardwareZone, sgCafe and Xedo Defense cheered the news that the site had been hacked.
The IT consultant running Xedo Defense, who declined to give his real name, said he 'cannot help feeling a sense of glee, but I would have to say I will not support such actions, even if Odex deserves it.'
Security expert Aloysius Cheang said the attack on Odex did not appear to be a very sophisticated one. It was 'probably the work of an individual, since no organised hacker group has claimed credit for it so far', he added.

If there were to be any positive reaction , they could even try to enforced their " rules " to foreign land so that they can extort more money . But since they face such a big uproar , then naturely they will make an excuse to say its a mistake since nowadays alot of pple like to try their luck first then say its a mistake later on when they know pple are unhappy with them .

It's easier to do hacking from home, since you've all your favourite tools and resources right there ready to use.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:Lets say he goes to a cyber cafe in JB to do his hacking... or Batam... surely he is not so stupid as to do it from his home or office computer right?
If he did it from home or office...
