Indian hacker Ashell, who defaced the National Highway Authority (NHA) website just yesterday, struck again on Sunday when he hacked two more Pakistani websites, this time his target being one government site and one with a .org domain.
The two websites hacked were the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations Pakistan (FAO Pakistan) and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Technical Education and Vocation Training Agency (TEVTA).
The message left by the hacker was the same as the one left on the NHA site.
The message states that the defacement was carried out in remembrance of those Indians who were killed during the Mumbai triple bombings on July 13, 2011. Ashell belongs to the hacker group Indishell, which is also known as the Indian Cyber Army.
Hackers from Pakistan and India have been embroiled in a cyber war, and also continue to attack websites from their own countries.
Indian hackers had defaced the website of Atrium Cinemas, Karachi’s first 3D entertainment centre, in November last year.

You shouldn’t cry when your websites are poorly constructed and have old PHP & MYSQL versions.

In my teens I was as acquainted as you can be on the internet with a good number of those who did things like that for fun. They’re immature but harmless. Given I was just as immature at that time. They’re harmless because they do it with the intent of being seen and you can’t be seen if you cause actual damage. It also takes less than a minute to get in an out if you have a pre-made index. The only changes you’d see beyond that is your log files being deleted and a peculiar new account created.
But, hypothetically, they can be tracked down even without those log files. The first thing they usually do is have people they know go there and see what they did. So, while you may not have a log of the exact person, you’ll probably have a number of people you could use to get to him. Just look for a weird cluster of hits in the web server log. 99% chance they’re his friends.
