UK Backpacker Murders: Police Websites Hacked

The international hacking group Anonymous said on its Facebook page 14 Thai police websites had been targeted.
Of those it listed, nine could not be accessed on Tuesday.
The words "Failed Law", "We Want Justice", and a hashtag #BoycottThailand were displayed on some of the hacked sites, along with the name of the Myanmar-based "Blink Hacker Group".
Thai police have confirmed the attacks but insist no confidential data has been taken.
Protesters hold pictures of Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Htun, two Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand, as they protest in front of the Thai embassy in Yangon
"They're not good enough to hack into our system and steal any of our data," police spokesman Dechnarong Suthicharnbancha said.
Last month a Thai court found Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Htun guilty of killing Britons Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, whose bodies were found on a beach on the holiday island of Koh Tao in 2014.
Officers investigating the murders were accused of gross incompetence, mishandling evidence and torturing the suspects.
However, a judge dismissed the torture allegations, saying there was no evidence it took place.
The guilty verdicts sparked angry protests in Myanmar where hundreds have joined ongoing demonstrations outside the Thai Embassy in Yangon.
They say Lin and Htun, both 22, are both innocent scapegoats and are demanding they be released. Both have been sentenced to death.
The latest hacking attacks were carried out after a 37-minute video was posted on Anonymous' Facebook page on Sunday.
In it a masked person questioned the competency of the Thai police force and its handling of the murder investigation and other cases.
