Original story:
It has come to our attention that Google Malaysia’s site has been hijacked by a group of hackers that called themselves TeaM MADLEETS which seems to be based or originated from Pakistan. To certain extent, this latest hijack incident mirrors to the one that took place back in July although the scope seemed to be limited to google.com.my and google.my for now.
We are actively looking for more clarification on this incident, so expect further updates coming your way very soon.
