The website of Pakistan’s Supreme Court was on Tuesday defaced by a hacker who asked the Chief Justice to ban all pornographic websites and do more to help the poor.

A message posted on the apex court’s website by the hacker using the name Zombie_Ksa mocked security measures, saying the site was in “wrong, untalented hands”.

The hacker, who appeared to be a Pakistani, said the Supreme Court’s website was chosen for hacking to “convey a message” to Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry.

“So I am here to request you to go out there and help the poor, needy and hungry,” the message posted by the hacker said.

The hacker, in the message peppered with expletives, called on the Chief Justice to initiate suo motu action to ban pornographic websites in Pakistan.

The Supreme Court’s website has been defaced by hackers on at least one occasion in the past.
