With the rise of former minister for research and technology, B.J. Habibie, to the presidency after Suharto's fall, there are indications that the Indonesian government may have started to confront the global media and the Internet challenge more aggressively and with considerably more cyber expertise. It was reported on 28 January 1999 that the ISP called Connect-Ireland, which hosted the East Timor virtual country domain, was shut down due to ‘highly sophisticated hacker attacks’. The ISP was ‘systematically attacked by 18 robots simultaneously. Connect-Ireland was targeted from various locations around the globe’. The report adds that, ‘it is known that the Indonesian government does not approve of the virtual country and it is thought that the attacks were motivated by pro-Indonesia sentiments. Connect-Ireland is to lodge a formal protest with the Indonesian embassy in London.’ The East Timor domain had been set up a year earlier by Nobel Prize winners Jose Ramos Horta and Bishop Belo ‘in order to highlight the injustices going on in the country’. See nua.net/surveys/asia, 28 January
