Claiming to retaliate the defacement of Pakistani websites by Indian hackers, a Pakistani hacker defaced pages on eight Indian government websites on Thursday and posted objectionable messages on the hacked pages.

According to >zone-h.org , a website which runs a mirror of all the defaced or hacked websites, the Pakistani hacker identified as ‘khantastic haXOr,’ defaced five pages of the website belonging to Indian telecom giant BSNL, a website of Indian meteorological department in Kolkata ( >www.imdkolkata.gov.in/webdata ), Jute Corporation of India ( >www.jci.gov.in ), and a page on the website of Chennai Metro Rail ( >chennaimetrorail.gov.in/logs ).

In the message posted on the defaced pages, the hacker maintained that he had deleted and copied the databases of the websites. Most of the websites continued to return the hacked pages when checked on Thursday evening, while some of them returned 404-page not found messages.
