Its not hacking.............
@Anonymous: those sites mentioned on that link are some private sites I think. which one is the govt site?? Let us know.
So Pakistani call Hacking to this ? hehehe
Let me tell you one thing only Computer illiterate call that "Hacking"
Maybe you dont need much IQ to hack websites nowadays.
Comment section is more interested than this poor news.
@BlackJack: Well I don't know nor did I claim so, just like I don't know (nor do I claim) if you are the same BlackJack I replied to. But by citing that incident (which supports my implicit thesis that It is perfectly possible for a Pakistani Hacker to deface Indian website), I have brought down the probability of your wild assumption right down to zero. Most likely scenarios are- May be they didn't try out Indian sites or may be tried & succeeded (The number of decently skilled India bashing hackers active from Pakistan during last 10-15 days can at best be in a few thousand, if not hundreds or tens ).
@RAW is WAR: This Make sense because,They hacked this site So the Site Security Should be checked Carefully,they did'nt do any damage to that website,just replaced the main page. Just Imagine, If Endian Hackers get Access To This Site,They Will Surely Damage This.
They are good hackers there need to be negotiation with them
@Naveen: And you assume that this is the same set of hackers because...?
People who have done such acts like hacking are having "Virus" in their heads, to prove their point they attack their own people,property they are like the Talibanis, its like autoimmune disorder and cancer cells in medical terms, they are Frankenstein produced by conservative Mullahs in Mosques and Jingoistic politicians over television news shows and political rallies
@BlackJack: That Assumption is more in your head than in real world. Only a few days back MTNL and Pune Traffic Police website was defaced by some Pakistani hackers.
Its embarrassing to call this defacement "Hacking".
All true hackers know this is the work of script kiddies (probably teenagers), and has nothing to do with the real hacker communities that exist.
If they really wanted to impress or protest Indian aggression, they would shut down communication networks and target critical infrastructure.
What the russians did to estonia in 2007. That proved a point... NOT THIS!
they also hacked indian websites

@BlackJack
They have defaced Indian sites a number of times in the past. Looking at facts will allow you to be more logical next time
Pretty much sums up what ails Pakistan. Even in their rage on state, hackers are implicitly toeing the long established line of Pakistani State instead of thinking any out of box remedies.
Now this is absurd of ET. Anything containing the keywords of "India", "Indian", is actually a headline here. Seriously ? Seems to me as if I need to change my browsing habits and visit websites having "Pakistaniasm"
One must assume that they were unable to hack any Indian sites that they had to target one of their own.
Lol. That's why LeJ and TTP also attack our military bases. They're testing our security too. Way to be patriotic guys. Shabaash.
"The hackers left the following message on the site’s main page: Islam Zindabad, Long live Muslims, and Pakistan Zindabad."
Where is this group when there are innocent Muslims killed every day in their own country? "Pakistan Zindabad"? What is the use of saying that if only the land remains but all countrymen die by killing each other? Why not do such a "stunt" in protest of everyday bombings in own country? There's a saying "Charity begins at home". Patriotism should not be shown by hacking a government website to protest against the "outsiders". Patriotism should be displayed by demanding your own government to fix the country's internal problems. If these so-called "good talibanis" don't attack Pakistan's neighbour countries, no country will retaliate.
Ha! Everybody knows that according to the laws of the internet, you cannot hack on a holiday!
Don't these hackers know, govt jobs only go to incompetent safarishi people? How can they secure the site
Dear ET
this is not hacking.
regards
If the hackers can steel information from NSA headquarter then this is nothing...
This is funny. Cut your nose off to spite your face.
The act is similar to that of TTP killing innocent Muslim Pakistanis to display their anuish / protest against the drone attacks of USA. This is the right path. Hacking the secretariat of National Assembly will make your protest stronger. Carry on.
makes no sense. Why deface Pakistani website if you are angry with India?
maybe it makes sense. Pakistanis has the habit of burning their own property when Islam is "insulted" in USA.
dailly more than 20 deaths in karachi itself and where are these self announced muslim protectors?!! grow up
