Hacked Ministry of Labor Site

Story

An unemployed Saudi citizen hacked the website for the Saudi Ministry of Labor. He did that by replacing the front page with a message saying the site was hacked and the phrase “We are bored of unemployment can you listen”

Commentary

Unemployment is becoming a serious problem in Saudi Arabia and with the current rate of inflation its just getting worse. Saudi Arabia’s main problem is a young population (50% of population is estimated to be under 15 years old) and reliance on foreign workers (about 5 million immigrant works are officially declared). But I do wounder what does hacking the site will do to solve the unemployment problem? It does show how poor the site is and after visiting it I can say I can make a better site in less than an hour.
