During the past week, netizens stirred up a case of a 12th grade student in Vinh Long province 'hack' the website of the Ministry of Education and Training . When discovered by police, this young hacker admitted everything. Many opinions condemned this job, but not many people said that five months earlier (July 2006), this student had warned the system error of the network, but the responsible people ignored it.

'May the minister understand you .'

' I just hope that Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan forgives me, understand that I have no intention other than warning security errors. In a shallow moment, I annoyed the minister and caused many troubles for my family . I hope I will not be fined for studying time . '

Tri wrote such a letter to Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan.

On the afternoon of December 25, we found Bui Minh Tri's house, a 12th-graders student in high school specialized in Nguyen Binh Khiem, Vinh Long province. This computer-passionate student was denounced by the Information Technology Center and the Ministry of Education and Training with the High-tech Crime Prevention Department under the Department of Economic Crime and Economic Crime - Ministry of Public Security - about the page of moetgov.vn of Ministry of Education and Training is 'attacked'.

Tri's computer was sealed by the police of CSDT with the order of economic management and the position of Vinh Long province from December 19 until now.

Talking to Tuoi Tre , Dr. Do Van Xe, vice principal of Can Tho University - who has discovered many informative talents in the Mekong Delta, said Bui Minh Tri's detection and warning of security errors is commendable, moreover, I have shown a sense of responsibility when proactively reporting many times to officials in charge of the ministry's network administration publicly.

However, the intrusion of a unit's website inadvertently violates the law.

Dr. Xe also said in the afternoon of December 25, when talking with Mr. Quach Tuan Ngoc - Director of the Informatics Center of the Ministry of Education and Training, Mr. Ngoc affirmed: through the above incident, the Ministry only had a reminder but did not want to stress. Tri did not have a bad motive to sabotage, but it was necessary to remind Tri to cultivate the knowledge of state law on the Internet.

According to Mr. Ngoc, with security errors, the ministry's experts can completely detect and fix it.

Tri sadly said: ' I went to many websites of the branches, not only the website of the Ministry of Education and Training and also to learn about security errors to alert network administrators to be alert, I did not mean destructive. The places where I report bugs such as the network administration department of the ministry, VDC Company, vietnam.net forum also exchange and thank the information I warned, no one has ever let me sabotage '.

In July 2006, Tri went to the department's website to find out the structure of the website and found that the security part of the site was faulty and left a file on the web proving that the web had security flaws.

For the second time, about three days after a discussion with an expert at VDC Company (VN Data Communication Company) Tri also reported this information to the network administration department of the Ministry of Education and Training.

And Tri also contacted Mr. Kien as a network administrator of the Ministry of Education and Training to contact and exchange information about the network's incidents many times. Through exchange, Mr. Kien also asked Tri to present the security flaws and suggested to cooperate with Tri to repair.

Later when the police began to inspect the house and seal the computer, Mr. Kien assured Tri and said: ' What are the disadvantages to report out here and if you need to send the dispatch to confirm Tri? must be a sabotage because of specific information with the public network specialist! '.

Mr. Bui Thanh Hong, Tri's father, said that Kien also said that if anything, the family kept calling directly to Mr. Quach Tuan Ngoc, director of the Informatics Center of the Ministry of Education and Training, to expect him to confirm the situation is Tri. does not mean to sabotage, because previously told the ministry's officials.

But according to Bui Thanh Hong, twice the phone but the person on the other side announced that Mr. Ngoc is busy. In fact, the family never begs Mr. Ngoc as he said in a newspaper.

GLORY

*Nguyen The Dong - a member of the organizing committee of the 'white hat' hacker conference:

Because website owners deploy too poor security solutions or the level of webmasters is not enough to prevent intrusion and attack the website. If any friend finds a vulnerability of a website, can attack successfully and immediately give a warning to the website owner, I think this action is very respectful, even need to be praised, Bonus.

* Details such as leaving a file, your nick warns the site administrator, puts your image on the website within 5 minutes and you delete and exchange yourself with VDC's people about the website's vulnerability. . proves that I am good and completely wronged by irresponsible people. The above facts show that Tri is the one who discovered the vulnerability of the website and informed the responsible person, not the one who broke the site. (Nguoithu . @)

* I think, except for putting that image up for 5 minutes, everything else is not wrong. If only so, then sue Tri is like falling in the countryside and bullying others. Tri can do it so surely he has gone through a process of exploration, study and research. (Tidu . @)

* The thing that Tri does is a warning to all departments about server system administration of websites of ministries and departments. Are the managers too distracted or do they underestimate a student's warning? (twinkle . @)

* The image of the minister's image changes, showing that I don't want to hide. I think administrators are smart enough to know what Tri wants. If Tri is a bad person, what will that site look like? (Haonam . @)
