The official website of the Supreme Court (SC) restored late on Tuesday after it was taken down after being hacked once again on the same date.
The hacker inserted derogatory and abusive remarks against the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry after gaining access to the website (www.supremecourt.gov.pk).
Reports suggest a hacking group named ‘Pak Bugs’ hacked the website using the ID: The Notorious Zombie_Ksa. They said the website was hacked by two individuals from Kohat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and a friend from India.
The hackers asked the CJP to ban all pornographic websites and do more to help the poor.
They mocked the security team handing the website, commenting that the site was in “wrong, untalented hands.” They said the hacked the website to “convey a message” to the CJP. Criticising the CJP’s “lavish lifestyle,” they wrote, “I am here to request you to go out there and help the poor, needy and hungry.” They, also, left a message full of expletives, calling on the CJP to initiate sou motu action to ban pornographic websites in Pakistan. They left a threat to hack the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) website if their demand was not fulfilled.
Hackers claimed to have left data intact and done no other damage was done to the site. They just “wanted the attention of the CJP,” they claimed.
The group also claimed to have hacked the FIA and PTA’s servers in the past.
The hackers also demanded that Dr Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani-origin neuroscientist sentenced to 86 years in prison by the US on charges of being a suicide bomber and having links with the Al Qaeda, be immediately released.
Earlier on September 30 2010, the SC website was hacked. Hackers had posted objectionable material to the site. Later on, the website was seen flashing a message, “The website is being updated.” The hackers included a Pakistani and Indian man. The hackers had demanded Dr Aafia Siddiqui be released from US jails.
Meanwhile, the SC took notice of the hacking and initiated a probe. SC officials noticed the website was compromised around 8 am but believed hackers may have gained access earlier that night. SC network administrator Mumtaz Ali said programmers were trying to restore the website back to normal.
He said, “Our webpages are hosted on the government-owned National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC) servers, and managed by their technical staff. Our programmers are working to resolve the issue.”
He said the court’s website only contains general information pertaining to judges’ profiles, the court’s annual reports and cause lists. The possibility of sensitive data being compromised does not exist, he added.
