“It is 16th December. The day when we got Independence from Pakistan. We dedicate this attack to all the martyrs of Bangladesh who lost their lives during the war. After serious attacks on Pakistani cyberspace by Bangladesh Grey Hat Hackers, Pakistani’s surrendered to us, like they surrendered at 16th December 1971,” the hackers stated.

They’ve posted a picture of an alleged Pakistani hacker saying: “Bd Grey Hat Hacker's won this war now stop defacing we left the war field.”

The attacks took place around 24 hours ago and at the time of writing, most of the government and education websites appeared to have been restored. Many of the commercial sites still bore the hacktivists’ defacement page.
