Members of Teamgreyhat (TGH) managed to breach the website of India’s most famous self-proclaimed ethical hacker, Ankit Fadia.

Ankit Fadia offers Ankit Fadia Certified Ethical Hacker (AFCEH) certificates to those who take his courses on ethical hacking, where he gives lectures on security tools, techniques and methods.

The hackers that allegedly breached his website claim that the “world-renowned Computer Security Guru” doesn’t secure his website, allowing them to obtain sensitive database data, including passwords and student details.

“In short this kiddy has not only foolished innocent people also media and many big authorities. This Lamar is running a security training called AFCEH. ankit faida certified....my question is when and from where you get your certificate???” the hackers write in their statement.

Voice of Grey Hat also provided some screenshots to prove that the hackers gained access to Ankit Fadia’s website.

I have contacted Ankit Fadia to see what he has to say on the matter, so stay tuned to find out more.

Ankit Fadia is only a "self-proclaimed" guru of security whereas he talks nothing beyond general security practices. In his talks he even comes out to be unaware of most common hacking tools used on the networks. I have always wondered how he has successfully managed to fool the much smarter students and media and no one has ever tried to even investigate the authenticity of his "certification"!
