Indian hackers known as Minhal and NoTty_raj posted the results of their latest operation in which they managed to successfully deface more than 700 websites, all of which hosted on .com domains.

Flash games, fashion and personal sites can be found in the long list, published in a Pastebin file.

Since they weren’t high profile websites, no one rushed to restore their content, most of them still displaying the picture posted by the hackers.

This is not the first time Minhal hacks a website. In August he managed the breach the defenses of MIT’s site, leaking both user and administrator credentials, Voice of Grey Hat reports.

He is also known for hitting NASA and a large number of research facilities such as the Institute of Astronomic Research, the Institute of Standards & Technology, the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation from the University of Latvia, and even Harvard.
