Chennai customs website was hacked by a group of Pakistani hackers on Friday, disabling access to its home page and content.
The Homepage of the website displayed ‘Go Modi Go'. The reason behind this hack was to, “Free Kashmir — Freedom is our goal. Indian Penal Code Act No. 45 of 1860 CHAPTER – II SEC 18: India – India means the territory of India excluding the State of Jammu and Kashmir.”
The group is identified as 'Team Pak Cyber Skullz'.
The hackers posted comments against India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They even raised a question against the ongoing situation in Kashmir and democracy in the country. They wrote on the website, “Doodh Maangoge Gay Kheer Dengee, Kashmir Maangoge Cheer Dengee.”
After the report of the hack, Indian Information Technology professionals immediately took the website under their control.
An officer with the cyber crime wing said, "The group carried out the attack at 10am and had control of the website for at least two hours before a technical team reclaimed control for the customs department."
However, the website is still not working. A message on its home screen said: "SERVER UPGRADE ...UNDER MAINTENANCE..."
