You are playing with fire," stated the Pakistan cyber army. “All Pakistani internet users and website owners, sleep tight, ‘coz PCA [Pakistan Cyber Army] is waking!!! PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!!!” it said on Facebook.
Since 2007, the Pakistan Cyber Army has hacked several Indian websites including that of India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation. Recently on its Facebook account, Pakistan cyber army claimed that Indian hackers had been playing havoc with Pakistani cyber communities and websites for a long time. The Pakistan Cyber Army alleged that HMG, a group of Indian web hackers, had hacked Pakistan’s official and important websites in the past, and its recent spate of hacking of Indian websites is to show the world that Pakistanis were no lesser than Indians in the field of cyberspace.
The Bangalore-based liquor baron and Rajya Sabha member Vijay Mallya found to his shock that his website, www.mallyainparliament.com, was not only hacked into, but also carried warnings of turning “Indian cyberspace into hell”. Mallya has lodged a complaint with the Delhi cyber police.
Statistics from the Computer Emergency Response Team, an official Indian government organisation which looks into computer security in the country, reveals that more than 4,300 Indian websites have been hacked from January to June, 2010.
