Indian hacker on Pakistani website with warning
NEW DELHI, Dec 21 (AFP) - An alleged Indian computer hacker Thursday made a
daring raid on one of Pakistan's largest websites in a ongoing cyber-battle
between the two South Asian arch-rivals.
The online offensive on www.pakgov.org came as both India and Pakistan
inched their way towards their first peace dialogue on the disputed Kashmir
region, the subject of two of three wars in the troubled subcontinent.
"Pakistan's official website has been hacked. My India is great," the
message left on the site said. It also said the attack was in retaliation to
Pakistani hackers raiding an Indian site.
"We are the best hackers in the world. This is a final warning for you not
to play around," the hacker wrote.
A series of cartoons was also posted on the site showing Pakistan being
defeated by India in their past battles.
The The latest cyber offensive came after a December 13 attack on a website
believed to belong to Indian media magnate Subhash Chandra.
The website, www.zeetv.com, actually belongs to Rahul Dholakia, an Indian in
the United States, and is registered in New Jersey.
A message left by the hackers read: "Indians, you people are losers ... this
is a piece of advice to Indians to free their hands from Kashmir and stop
dreaming about it."
The hackers, using profane language, also said they had managed to deface
several sites belonging to the Indian government and its ministries.
"Indian missiles, nuclear weapons and weapons control codes were already
hacked," and if New Delhi wanted them back, it would have to leave Kashmir,
the hackers claimed.
The website destruction led to massive condemnation in the Indian media.
New Delhi blames Islamabad for providing military backing to Muslim
militants in the part of Kashmir it controls.
Pakistan denies the charge but offers open diplomatic support to what it
terms the Kashmir freedom fighters.
