A subdomain of the official website of the State Bank of Patiala in India (hindi.sbp.co.in) has been breached and defaced by Pakistani hackers of the Pakistan Haxors Crew.

According to E Hacking News, the attack on the financial institution’s website comes in response to a cyberattack carried out by Indian hacktivists on the site of Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (ssgc.com.pk).

TAJVEEZ News reported that the Indian hackers were unhappy with the fact that they had to “suffer” for 3 hours in line at compressed natural gas (CNG) stations.

At the time of writing, the website of the State Bank of Patiala, which is an associate bank of the State Bank of India, has been restored.

Over the past weeks, both Indian and Pakistani hacktivists have intensified the attacks launched against the other country’s websites.
