TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Tempo website has been hacked since Thursday early morning, May 11.


It does not display the news page, instead, it shows a picture of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) leader Rizieq Shihab at a rally with a message under it that reads “bebaskan Ahok” (free Ahok, the inactive Jakarta governor).


The picture shows Rizieq raising his fist, flanked by his fellow protesters wearing all white outfits. Standing behind him is the National Movement to Safeguard the Indonesia Ulema Council Edict (GNPF MUI) chairman Bachtiar Nasir.


When the keyword “Tempo” is typed in the Google search engine, the result will show “TEMPO.co: hacked by Rizieq Shihab” on the top of Google search.


As of press time, Antara News could not access Tempo website on both of its web and mobile version via smartphones, tablet pcs, and laptops. It displayed the same result.


Earlier, Bali’s Jembarana District Court website was also hacked on Wednesday morning.


The website showed a black screen with a photograph of Ahok with a black suit, white shirt and black and white tie. Wearing glasses, Ahok puts his hand on his chest. The message under the image reads:


"Give his all to this country guilty and sentenced 2 years in jail. Simple explanation: they didn't know the difference between "eat with spoon" and "eat spoon". they claimed both are same meaning and made this governor guilty. the end. #RIP Justice In My Country".
