Every day, the number of visitors to this address is very large, especially during the enrollment and training periods.

Images showing websites of the Ministry of Education and Training were attacked in the afternoon of November 27.

Upon discovering this incident, immediately the Informatics Center of the Ministry of Education and Training temporarily suspended the service to quickly find out the reason why the Ministry of Education and Training's website was attacked by hackers (hackers), up to 19 hours. on the same day the intruder object with the account name Guan Yu continued to break into the server, which contained important data but was discovered and stopped by the center's executives.

By 1145 minutes on November 28, the subject was able to access the server system. All information about hackers is notified to the Network Security Center - Bkis - Hanoi University of Technology to coordinate the search. Through analysis of the Network Security Center, the trace of nick Guan Yu broke into the server with the address of a fixed telephone subscriber with phone number 070-8333 . located on Pham Thai Buong street, ward 4. , Vinh Long town, Vinh Long province.

At 14:00 on December 19, officials of the CSDT Crime Department of Economic Management Order and the Office of Vinh Long Provincial Public Security combined with the Provincial Post and Telecommunications Department Inspector to check the telephone subscribers connecting to the Internet at Address 45A Pham Thai Buong, Ward 4, Vinh Long Town. Contrary to the initial fears of duty executives that the culprit after disrupting the site will erase all traces on the computer, in front of us a very young hacker admitted all job.

It was Bui Minh Tri, born in 1989, a student of 12th grade in Physics - Tin Nguyen Binh Khiem High School, Ward 4, Vinh Long Town (the famous school for climbing kings in exams " The road to Olympia 's peak ) quickly admitted to being the author of the intrusion of the Ministry of Education website. In Tri's computer, he still has a record of the addresses of the visits to the Ministry of Education and Training website, the photo of Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan and the picture of Tri naked with the words " Catch me if you can " ( catch Me If You Can).

In the report, Bui Minh Tri wrote: ". In the middle of July 2006, I went to the Ministry of Education and Training's website, seeing that some points were not safe, so I tried to find a way to get in. After I found the error in two days . With this error, I obtained the server's user name and password, then executed the commands . I entered the server and left a file to alert website administrators but did not receive a reply from them On November 27, 2006, I returned to the Ministry of Education's website to see if they fixed the error, the error result still Disappointed about their irresponsible attitude, I changed the photo of Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan with his photo for 5 minutes with the idea that someone will see and know that the website of the Ministry of Education and Training Phone is at fault and will warn those responsible for me (because I have been WARNING but not effective). In addition to wanting to warn me, I have no other meaning, then there is a brother named Tuan. Working at the Computer Center contacted me, asking me to cooperate. I corrected some website errors with him (this is probably because he hasn't told other people). "

Through this incident, readers can easily see that Bui Minh Tri - a student of Nguyen Binh Khiem specialized school with his informatics knowledge and curiosity has proved to be a "friendly hacker", he has distributed error and intrusion into the site, there is no disruptive intent to warn, but perhaps due to being considered disrespectful, then seriously offending the image of the image of the Ministry of Education website. -DT.

At Article 41, Point k of Decree No. 55/2001 / ND-CP of the Government dated August 23, 2001 on the management, provision and use of Internet services stipulates: Those who violate regulations on transport operating, exploiting and using computers causing disturbances in operation, blockade or deforming, destroying data on the Internet but not to the extent of being examined for administrative responsibility shall be subject to a fine of between VND 10 million and 20 million dong .

For Tri's behavior, considering other aspects, we must admit in the time when information technology is continuously developing like today, in addition to anti-hackers mission, we also need friendly hackers to help detect the error of the program, and also to the governing body of the website of the Ministry of Education and Training and also of other departments and units, it is necessary to review the security of electronic addresses at the agency , units and localities should promptly remedy technical errors and avoid similar cases.
