Saudi man hacks Ministry of Labor website
DUBAI (AlArabiya.net)
A disgruntled Saudi man hacked into the website of the Minstry of Labor to express his displeasure with the lack of employment opportunities in the kingdom.
Although the website enables users to voice complaints through a comment form, the unemployed hacker decided to send his message in a more direct way by posting a simple message to the Ministry, "We are sick of unemployment. We hope you listen," on the homepage.
The hacker did not obstruct the website site and website administrators did not immediately remove the hacker's statement, according to the Saudi newspaper Al-Madina. The newspaper reported Wednesday that the message remained on the Ministry's homepage throughout the day.
Member of the Consultative Assembly Mohamed Al Zulfa said the problem of youth unemployment is not only a result of their inability to find jobs but of the youth is not but also that available jobs offer meager salaries that barely cover transportation or positions are not commensurate with the expectations of university graduates.
