Over the past week, there has been an escalation in the hack of digital accounts of prominent Indians like Rahul Gandhi, Vijay Mallya, Ravish Kumar and Barkha Dutt, which arose the question of political motive behind the hack. But, an unknown group, Legion, had taken the responsibility of all the hacks and overruled the political motive behind it.
Now the hacker group has said that their next target their next hack would be of sansad.nic.in , and Indian banking system as there are major flaws in it, and they do not believe in a cashless economy, in an online conversation with ET.
"Let me tell you...the banking system of India is deeply flawed and has been hacked several times," said the person who spoke to ET. During the interview, the person also revealed the names of some of the financial institutions they have targeted. But ET didn't publish their names.
The first victim Rahul Gandhi, whose twitter account was hacked, and group tweeted after hacking his account. Soon after this, the officials of All India Congress Committee took it as an opportunity to blame this on the opposition party. “Truth is that every Indian’s privacy is similarly under attack and the onus lies on the Modi government to do suitable course correction for protecting the privacy of everyone who is on social media,” said Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala.
The group revealed that they do not have an Indian passport and that they are not of Indian origin.
After hacking multiple accounts they tweeted: "Okay Brothers we're back. #legion. Support our cause to expose the rats in our system."
