WOW bad news, China hacks Indian Defence ministry website

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

NEW DELHI: The website of the Ministry of Defence was on Friday evening 'hacked', reported PTI quoting officials.

Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman took to Twitter to say that "appropriate action" had been initiated in the matter. She added that steps would be taken to "prevent any such eventuality in the future."

Upon visiting, the website displayed an 'error' message and asked users to 'try again later'.

The site also began to display - what news agencies called - a 'Chinese' character, which purportedly means 'home'.

"We are seized of the matter. The National Informatics Centre, which maintains the website, is trying to restore it," a ministry spokesperson said.

An official said Chinese hackers may be involved in defacing the website, reported PTI.

Anyone can hack, why blame a whole country? It's not some ISRO satellite or a military system but just a website. Pakistani and Indian hackers do this 24/7 to each other's websites.

Impossible! IT Super power and home of the world internet security experts can not be hacked by poor Chinese peasants.

Seriously, Indians are learning from the U.S using China as a boogeyman on everything went wrong with their country.

Indians are clueless as always. I bet even a tattoo artist from the US could tell what that character means

No hacking of websites: National cyber security chief:

I think above is a damage control exercise from Modi's men.
In fact it was hacked.
If it was a "glitch" alone, why did the Chinese characters appear?

So Modi's men are lying to camouflage the embarrassment.

What a shame, that Defence ministry can't protect it's own website, I wonder whether it is capable of protecting India.
