14 DAY TRIAL // Pakistani hackers from the Pak Cyber Pyrates have attacked a website owned by Southern Railways (southernrailway.gov.in), an organization whose railroad networks cover Indian states such as Andhra Pradesh, Pondicherry, Kerala and Tamilnadu.
The hacktivists defaced the site’s main page to display their protest message against the presence of India in the controversial Kashmir area.
“Govt. of India it’s time to tell the truth to all innocent Indian people. They don’t know the truth behind your illegal occupation in Kashmir. You keep them blinded that Kashmir is a part of Baharat, but in reality the situation is different,” the hackers wrote.
However, as IBN Live highlights, the official Southern Railways site was moved to sr.indianrailways.gov.in back in 2010, which means that the domain targeted by the hackers is currently out of use.
This is most likely the reason for which they’ve managed to gain access to its backend so easily.
Update. One of the hackers has told Softpedia that they've actually defaced a total of 89 Indian government domains, including the new domain used by Southern Railways.
