NEW DEHLI: The Ministry of Defence of India website was hacked on Friday and displayed a Chinese character for “Home, reported Indian media sources.
Attempts to access the website ended up showing an ‘error’ message and prompted users to ‘try again later’.
India media sources have stated that the ministry is working on recovering the website as soon as possible.
Indian news agency PTI quoted officials as saying that ‘the people involved in the hack could be Chinese’.
Both Pakistani and Indian websites have been hacked before this in cases where the hackers claim to be of foreign countries.
In August last year, multiple Pakistani government websites were hacked by Indians who defaced the sites with pro-India messages.
