WEBSITE HACKER ATTACKS GOA INDIA NEWS HEADLINES STORY

GOA INDIAN GOVERNMENT WEBSITE HACKED BY TURKISH GROUP AND ANTI AMERICAN SLOGANS POSTED ON IT INDIA NEWS HEADLINE STORIES


GOA, GOVERNAMENT WEBSITE HACKED, INDIA NEWS HEADLINES: - The Goa government was in for an online shock on Saturday when its Information and Publicity Department’s website was hacked allegedly by a Turkish group that posted anti-America slogans on it. State Information Secretary in-charge J P Singh was quoted as saying by PTI that the matter was a serious one and will be looked into. The website, which was designed to display information on the details of Goa administration and related information and government schemes was flooded with graphic images of executions and arms seizure.
In September, Google mail accounts of key government officials were tampered with and earlier, passwords and login names of the National Defence Academy and key Indian embassies were splashed by a hacker on this website. Goa police say the alleged hacker Huseyingazi has cross-linked the website to www.turkmilliyetcileri.net which flashes anti-America slogans, police said. One of the comments reads, "United States of America which is feeding on and strengthening behind close doors the universal terrorists is the greatest terrorist country." According to Government watchdog CERTIN, close to 3,000 Indian websites have been hacked this year, 140 in October alone. But the state police dismissed it as a common practice. "This is a very common thing and not unique to Goa," Deputy Inspector General of Police Ujjwal Mishra was quoted as saying by PTI.
