Pakistan-based hackers, who called themselves ‘Pakistan Cyber Mafia Hackers’, on Saturday hacked two Gujarat government websites as well as three other websites.
Out of the five websites hacked, two belonged to the Gujarat government, including the official website of Commissionerate of Higher Education (www.egyan.org.in) and the Agricultural Produce Market Committee of Ahmedabad (www.apmcahmedabad.com).
Other websites, which they claimed to have hacked, include www.delhi-pharma.com, www.listtopcolleges.in and www.atnnetwork.in. They put up the list of the hacked websites on the wall of their Facebook page.
According to APMC Ahmedabad official Ketan Patel, the website is undergoing maintenance and is currently offline.
“As soon as we learned about the hacking of our website, we have shut it down for maintenance. We have removed the material posted by hackers. On Monday, we will call a meeting and lodge an FIR,” Mr. Patel said.
“We removed the page uploaded by hackers to our website yesterday (Saturday). We have also relaunched the website after thorough maintenance,” State Education Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama said.
