14 DAY TRIAL // Several websites of the Pakistani government have become unavailable to visitors after Indian hacker Godzilla managed to breach an important server.
According to The Hacker News, the sites of the Ministry of Minorities, the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the Ministry of Internior, The Ministry of Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Environment, and many others have been disrupted.
In order to protect government networks, Pakistani authorities have deployed a proxy server. However, Godzilla has managed to breach a server that’s connected to 22 other local machines used for the proxy.
As a result, the Pakistani government’s IT team was forced to shut down the server, and implicitly cut access to most official websites.
The hacker accuses the government of funding terrorist activities.
Currently, most of the sites are still unavailable, except for the main web portal of the Government of Pakistan.
Update. E Hacking News reports that Godzilla has also managed to breach a website operated by the Pakistani Army.
