Kuwait City: A Saudi hacker is reportedly behind an attempt to infiltrate the website of the Ministry of Interior in Kuwait.
Nicknaming himself 'Abu Tarikham-Mishal Al-Enzi', the hacker entered the ministry’s webpage as an ordinary user and attached a link infected with millions of computer viruses.
The hacker then managed to control the webpage and posted his name and video recording showing dancing and musical clips.
Security sources said the hacker, a Saudi national, could not have access to other pages on the ministry’s portal.
The ministry announced yesterday that its specialized teams had foiled the hacking attempt and reinstated the webpage quickly without damaging the IT systems or database.
