Pakistani ‘Cyber’ Hackers Take Down Over 100 Websites

Pakistani hackers are keeping themselves busy these days, taking down more than 100 websites over the weekend, many of which belonged to their declared enemy India.

Pak Cyber Army, Pak Cyber Pyrates and Pak Cyber Combat Squad are the groups to blame for the latest website defacements.

First, Pak Cyber Combat Squad took down 51 of what they call Nato sites. In reality, the domains include sites that advertise household products, insurance companies, goods for babies and even politicians.

Each of the breached locations contains a message that condemns the American soldiers for invading their country and killing innocent citizens.

“We can see that you are trying to free us from the tyrannical regime of dictators where we have freedom, and are replacing it with a so called democracy where the political parties are just legalized form of street gangs, You killed our children in the name of revolution, You bombed and destroyed our homes in the name of collateral damage and left many of us disabled,” reads a statement left on a defaced page.

On the other hand, Pak Cyber Pyrates are breaching websites to show their disapproval against India, also reminding everyone of the never-ending battle for the Kashmir area.

“The 15th of August is special for you because you got freedom on this day yet you should think that do you really deserve to celebrate this freedom if you do not stop the wrong doings in Kashmir,” they write.

The list of victim sites is mainly composed of commercial locations, online gossip magazines and some that offer support and content for programmers.

The third and final group, the Pak Cyber Army is responsible for taking down the website of a major Indian telecommunications company, reports the Hindustan Times.

This is not the first time the site of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is hacked by Pakistani hackers, but it seems they still failed in deploying proper security measures.
