New Delhi:
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), whose website was still
down Saturday evening, has filed a case for the defacement of its
website by a group identifying itself as the "Pakistani Cyber
Army", an official said.
"It came to our notice that the official website of the CBI was
unauthorisedly accessed and defaced in the intervening night of
Dec 3-4. We have registered a case with the cyber crime cell of
the CBI under the relevant sections of law," a CBI official said.
The group claimed to have hacked the server of the National
Informatics Centre (NIC), which hosts the CBI website.
According to the investigating agency, a message read "Pakistan
Zindabad" and was posted on the website Friday night. But the
agency said it has no idea who was behind this cyber attack.
"As of now, we have no idea who is behind this," the official
added.
According to the official, the website will be available for
public interface at the earliest. "Efforts are underway to restore
the website with the help of the NIC and the CBI cyber security
experts," said the official.
While the banner and index of the website intact, the group posted
a message, mocking India's premier investigating agency.
The message read: "This attempt is in response to the Pakistani
websites hacked by 'Indian Cyber Army'. We told u before too...we
are sleeping but not dead."
"Back off kids or we will smoke ur doors off like we did
before...let us see what you investigating agency so called CBI
can do," it said.
The group also said that it had hacked into the root server of the
National Informatics Centre (NIC), which maintained most of the
government websites.
The website defacers ended their message with "Pakistan Zindabad".
According to Pakistani daily Express Tribune, 200 Indian websites
were hacked Friday.
