Indian hackers deface Multan government website
Indian national songs, supposedly sung at a concert, were being played as background music on the website.
The website, www.multan.gov.pk, is the Multan government’s official website and contains important data vis a vis the district.
A group named ‘Indishell’ claimed hacking the website, with its name prominently mentioned on the homepage, along with a message saying ‘We have an EYE on you’, that is strategically placed under cat eyes with pupils donned as the Indian flag.
When District Coordination Officer Multan, Zahid Zaman, was contacted to get a statement on this incident, he denied being DCO Multan, despite receiving the call on the official number.
The website had information including maps, buildings, history, culture of Multan along with a list of ongoing developmental projects in the district. Regarding the ongoing projects, the site has information on the tenders about the developmental projects in Multan.
Talking to The Express Tribune, Ijaz ul haq, Member All Pakistan Newspaper Cyber Society and editor Multan Updates, condemned the step, saying it would create problems for citizens and that the district government was doing nothing to deal with this issue.
“It is the duty of the district government to ensure that such informative and helpful websites are secured. “

Welldone indi boys
It may not happen if security specialist arent employed by paper skills hats off for these hackers from across the border disclosing our website loop holes now mr. Gillani will take a look over the security of the official state portal
So what can one expect from unemployed people?
I apologize for this childish act of Indian Hacker,
It is time to show a little Jazba. Where is Kapten Khan? This is the kind of stuff he likes to capitalize on.
bunch of kids
When these kids grow up, they might do something useful with their time. Fingers crossed though!
Pakistani newspapers are like the "Wild Wild West" and a lot more fun than boring Indian newspapers
Even PM Gillani wont be bohered, though its his home town. Indishell the level of ur cyber intellect can be judged by this task... lolx
Few days back RCB owner Vijay Mallya had his website hacked by a Pakistani hacker group. Seems this is a 'tit for tat'...... Yet very immature...
There is no patriotism in defacing somebody else's web site and wiping the data which is in no way harming you. Patriotism is in creating useful information and sharing them with your own people.
@Conan:
if u call such a thing as "obsession"....go to any big website (bbc, nytimes, facebook, linkedin etc etc)
any forum...any place on web...u will find some or the other indian there....
i being an indian say that i hardly read indian newspapers much these days...its rather fun to read comments on ET....good amusement and stress relief for me at least...
What is even more embarrassing is that the website is still up.
Get ready for the Revenge..!!
"Regarding the ongoing projects, the site has information on the tenders about the developmental projects in Multan."
have you looked into the possibility of Gilani ordering the hack to hide corruption???
@Rehan: Not really, even highly sophisticated American gov't websites sometimes get hacked. Although hacking a neighboring country's website is quite childish an act, and I cringe whenever Pakistani and Indian youths hack websites of each others.
I find it funny when Indians claim they aren't obsessed with Pakistan, yet they hack our sites and troll on ET and Dawn.
the song was performed at a talent hunt show "INDIA'S GOT TALENT" by a group called "underground authority"
anyway....a very sad incident....hackers shudnt have wiped out the data...
wen pakistani hackers hacked the indian cbi's website...they dint even touch the data...just defaced it...
well...anyway...searching on the web...this underground cyberwar between india and pakistan is going on for years now...god prevent this
Disgusting indeed...!! how pitty it seems...
When all ppl hired on "Parchi" then the result would be like this....
Stupid kids on both sides of the border with nothing else to do. Rather than read a book or get an actual education, we see such idiots (including our bratty Pak Cyber Force) doing such nonsense.
Get a life.
why patriotic script kiddies, why?! what will us Pakistanis do without the Multan homepage now? I am so sad. I'd forget this travesty if you would grow up though .. deal?
