retailiation against the government's treatment of the Rohingya people.
The hacktivist group announced late-Wednesday in a Twitter post it had defaced the tourism site, mm.myanmar.net, which provides travel and location information, lodging and sights.A message left in the defacement said the site's data was safe and that the message was meant for the Myanmar government. "We call on the
government of Myanmar to stop the violence and the expulsion against
Rohingya based on humanitarian," the message read.
The defacement also contained a link to a news report by The Nation
on how the Myanmar government considered the Rohingya race as illegal
immigrants and had refused to grant them citizenship rights.
In a Twitter reply
on Thursday, Anonymous Indonesia apologized for the defacement and
explained it merely wanted to inform the Myanmar government not to expel
and oppress the Rohingya race. "They are also part of the people of
Myanmar who have long settled in Myanmar," the post read.

It finally happened. Today, all 500 of the world's top 500 supercomputers are running Linux. Linux rules supercomputing. This day has been coming since 1998, when Linux first appeared on the TOP500 Supercomputer list . Today it finally happened: All 500 of the world's fastest supercomputers are running Linux . The last two non-Linux systems, a pair of Chinese IBM POWER computers running AIX, dropped off the November 2017 TOP500 Supercomputer list . Overall, China now leads the supercomputing race with 202 computers to the US' 144. China also leads the US in aggregate performance. China's supercomputers represent 35.4 percent of the Top500's flops, while the US trails with 29.6 percent. With an anti-science regime in charge of the government, America will only continue to see its technological lead decline. When the first Top500 supercomputer list was compiled in June 1993 , Linux was barely more than a toy. It hadn't even adopted Tux as its masc...
