British news agency revealed that Pakistani hackers have defaced 2,118 Indian websites including websites of Central Bank of India. A group identifying itself as “Team Madleets” claimed responsibility for the hacking.
Altering the webpage of Indian actress Ponam Panday, the hackers wrote Pakistan Zindabad on its main page and set National Anthem as its background music.
British News Agency stated that official of Indian Cyber Security claimed that Indian hackers defaced homepages of nearly hundred Pakistani websites, apparently in retaliation to the defacement of more than 2,000 Indian websites.
According to sources in Global Cyber Security Response Team (GCSRT), Bangalore, the website of Central Bank of India had also been targeted which remained offline even on Tuesday night.
He said most of the websites had been defaced with the handle “StrikerRude”, “KashmirCyberArmy”, “PakCyber Expert”, “Hunter Gujar” and the operation was named as “#OP26jan”.
However, the claim of India about hacking Pakistani websites isn’t verified yet.
