State-run telco MTNL's website Mumbai last week was allegedly hacked by a Pakistani hacker operating from Australia. The website was restored soon after the attack, though some users complained of facing problems in accessing the site. MTNL's compromised website showed the following message: "MrCreepy Was Here. Napsters CrEw. Happy Independence Day Pakistan. http://Facebook.com/m3creepy. Greets: SEEKER, Dr.FREAK, MKHAN SWATI, And All Pakistani Hackers :D".
Other MTNL websites including the corporate website remained unaffected.
The hacker claimed on its Facebook page that it had attacked websites
Pune Traffic Police and janwani.org (a voluntary group). New figures, however, show a small
decline in the number of cyber attacks. According to Jay Bavisi, Global
President, EC-Council, the decline shows India has realised the
importance of securing themselves from cyber attacks.
"It is great to see that there is a
small decline in the number of websites that were hacked as well as the
number of security breaches as compared to 2012. This may point to the
fact that India has realized the importance of securing themselves from
cyber attacks and the menace these attacks can cause,” he said.
