It’s a Game of Power

Not always hacking is associated with stealing information, it sometimes a way to show power, demonstrate protest or a way to communicate thoughts publicly.

Recently, MTNL Mumbai website is hacked by Pakistan Hacker from Australia.




All the legitimate users redirected to a landing page showing message ‘Mr. Creepy was here. Happy Independence Day Pakistan’.

In this case, the 80 lakh customer data was not breached and site is up and running.

Similar, incident happened to other Indian sites like Pune Traffic Police and  Janwani, a social initiative of Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce and Industries & Agriculture, on the eve of India’s 67th Independence Day.
