Yesterday, Hacktivist group Anonymous
released thousands of sensitive Cambodian government documents in
retaliation after the co-founder of The Pirate Bay was arrested.
Following the release of these documents, we browsed one set of
documents released and what we found out could be quite embarrassing for
Cambodia.
Among documents found in the package posted on http://par-anoia.net/assessment/kh/CAMBBELNEP/,
we noted that, unlike Anonymous’ claim that they belong to the
Cambodian government, these documents appear to belong to someone who
works for the Indian Embassy. This person (or persons) appear to be
involved in trade and diplomatic affairs within the Indian Embassy in
Cambodia. The following document (labeled “lost cir page1.jpg) shows an
Indian Embassy’s circular about lost passports by Indian citizens.
Other documents appeared to be
diplomatic information exchanged between India and Nepal, as well as
Belarus and other countries. There are very few documents related to
Cambodia, with the exception of a letter sent by the Indian Embassy in
Cambodia sent to the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
International Cooperation (MFAIC); an invitation to Hun Xen to attend
the 2nd Rice Forum during the second week of October 2012; announcements
to the Indian government about the visit of various Cambodian officials
to India; and request for Indian facilitation for Cambodians who need
to perform kidney transplants in India.
If indeed, these documents
belong to Indian diplomats, and if Anonymous’ claim is correct, i.e.
these documents were stolen from the MFAIC, then the embarrassing
question to be raised is: why does the Cambodian MFAIC possess these
Indian diplomatic documents?
While most of the documents
appear to be dated between February and April 2012, one document
(AmbCambodia.pdf), dated 05 September 2012, is authored by Anand Sharma,
MP, who recently attended the ASEAN-India meeting in Cambodia. The
letter is privately addressed to Dinesh K. Patnaik, the Indian
ambassador to Phnom Penh. The question is how did this letter end up in
the hand of the Cambodian MFAIC instead. To a curious mind, the first
thought would be that these documents could be spirited out of the
computer(s) belonging to an Indian diplomat(s) connected to the Indian
Embassy in Cambodia. Could it be that Phnom Penh, based on its communist
past, still resorts to documents stealing from foreign visitors to
Cambodia? Of course, there is a possibility that Anonymous’ claim is
inaccurate, but the chance for this is rather slim in view of the
presence of the invitation letter sent to Hun Xen.
Another troubling revelations
found in the documents hacked are the requests made to the Indian
government for safe medical passage of Cambodian citizens to undergo
kidney transplants in India. These requests appear to show that there is
a possibility of human body parts trafficking in Cambodia, specifically
kidneys, as human donor programs do not exist in Cambodia. Therefore,
the only possibility left is that these are paid donors, i.e. human part
sellers.
These two observations alone are
quite troubling to start with, notwithstanding the revelation of the
upcoming attendance by Hun Xen to an official function in October of
this year.

Embarrassment is not in cambodia government officials vocabularies. The leader, hun sen, got no shame in giving a long and none sense border speech, but rather took pride in his absurd speech addressing the cambodian law makers and the nation.
There were laws to protect Cambodian's people from land grabbing of the well connection to this thugs regime but no one enforce these laws the tops well connected officials and their thugs terrorized poor khmers and stole their land and protect the foreigners instead.Just read the leaked about Rottabakiri land dispute from this hacker posted.Good job Mr Hacker....Expose more dirts especially Hun sen,Heng Samrin,and Chea Sim or the King Sihanmoni's dirts.
Thank you.
