MaDLeeTs and Xploiter Crew hacktivists appear to be competing against each other

The websites of Pakistan’s Military Engineer Services (mes.gov.pk), the Secretariat Training Institute (sti.gov.pk) and the Pakistan Bar Council (pakistanbarcouncil.org) have been hacked.

First, they were breached and defaced by the Pakistani hacktivist group Xploiter Crew. Later, they were re-defaced by MaDLeeTs, another Pakistani group. Despite the fact that both teams are from Pakistan, they don’t seem to get along. Furthermore, the MaDLeeTs group seems to focus a lot of its efforts on hacking websites from Pakistan.

The hackers have told HackRead that they re-defaced the websites attacked by Xploiter Crew to send them a warning message.

A couple days ago, MaDLeeTs defaced around 150 random Pakistani websites. At the time of writing, many of these 150 websites are still defaced. The sites of the Military Engineer Services, the Secretariat Training Institute and the Pakistan Bar Council also still bear the marks of the attack.

Update. MaDLeeTs  representatives say they're not responsible for these attacks. They claim someone is abusing their name.
