Express July 10, 2010

PUNJAB: The Punjab Police’s official website was hacked by a group of Indian hackers.The hackers replaced messages by the Punjab chief minister and inspector general with derogatory remarks and slogans all over the website.

Excluding the appreciatory page of the website, all titles were distorted and the hacker groups’ name was being displayed everywhere on the website.

The website has not yet been restored to its original position. However, the authorities have blocked the site’s URL.

Pakistan Cyber Security experts confirmed that the hackers were Indians, adding that more than 150 Pakistani websites have been hacked in the past three days. However, they said that the attacks were not very serious.

inderjit sahota | 14 years ago | Reply all the posts above show root cause of what is wrong with pak. Here is a classic of shooting the messenger. pak punjab govt gives money to terror groups,when these terror groups strike back the reaction is it must be india.Until you learn to tell right from wrong, you will continue to be bombed by the groups you claim don`t exist. No one doubts the valour of the armed forces of pak. Unfortunaterly it is a case of lions led by donkeys. Pak has spent all its energy fighting india,not only has it ignored the cancer within punjab govt the army infact nurture. If pak is stong and powerful why does it need a begging bowl?. Pak deserves better it needs peace,it won`t get it if the views on here continue in similar vein. stan As a parting shot read this list; Afghanistan iraq iran PAKISTAN

ahmed | 14 years ago | Reply @chona No one hates pakistan, actually the whole world is providing us with billions of dollars in aid for us to survive. If they hate us, then all they can do is to switch off that aid and then we can all die in hunge, poverty and misery.

chona | 14 years ago | Reply Well the problem is not that the sites are being hacked ....But the fact is that this is just one aspect of bad things happening to us... We as a nation have to take note of this situation...that almost nobody in the world likes to see Pakistan and almost every financially strong country is against Pakistan...only the output points are different...some show their hate against Pakistan in UNO, some in Security Council, some in front of USA, some in front of European community, some on Cricket fields through false umpiring, some do it by terming Pakistanis as "stooges" as Malcom Speed did, some like INDIA do it on diplomatic front and try to stop aid to Pakistan citing reasons that Pakistan is terrorist or alleging that Kashmir is not part of Pakistan so stop world bank aid to Basha Dam...some do it by hacking websites....some do it by sponsoring terrorism...and some do it by fake currency and harming Pakistan on international trade scene......WOW.. All we need is to be united and be honest to our country and give sound,controlled and sober replies to all these attacks....!!!!!!!!!
