Hacker pulls plug on insensitive MH17 game


PETALING JAYA: An Internet-based video game, which showed complete disregard for the tragic fate of MH17 victims, has been taken down by a hacker who found the game disrespectful.

The game, titled "Euro BUK Simulator 2014", requires players to shoot down commercial airplanes - including one with a MAS logo - with a ground-based missile launcher, and then collect the passports of fallen victims to gain points.
