Screenshot of the defaced page of the Indian website.
The hacker termed his action “a revenge” against the university, which allegedly suspended its Kashmiri students for celebrating Pakistan’s win against India in the Asia cup cricket tournament on Sunday.
Identifying himself as H4$N4!N H4XOR (Hasnain Haxor), the hacker confirmed the development to The Express Tribune in an email on Friday.
The defaced page was the official website of the same university, which suspended Kashmiri students [for celebrating Pakistan’s victory against the arch-rival India in a crucial Asia cup game], he claimed.
Besides anti-India messages, the hacker also left on the defaced website a clipping of news about Kashmiri students who were allegedly suspended by SVSU for celebrating Pakistan’s victory.
“Feel the revenge of Pakistan Haxors Crew. We are sleeping but not dead,” read a message, he left on the page he had taken down. In another message left on the same page, the hacker said, “Jammu [and] Kashmir is part of Pakistan. We will soon liberate it from India.”
The hacker claimed that the defaced page is the official website of SVSU, which is located in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh.
When searched in Google’s search engine, the university's website appeared on top, and was the one hacked by Pakistan Haxors Crew.
Meanwhile, Times of India reported on Friday that the Pakistani hackers had defaced the wrong varsity website. Though the Indian newspaper mentioned the same hacking group, it said the hackers defaced the website of Swami Vivekanand University (SVU) in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh.
It could not be confirmed if the hackers had also attacked the SVU’s website but the SVSU restored its website later in the day, endorsing the hacker’s claim.

Seriously though, don't you Indians have anything better to do than lurking on Pakistani news websites?
Go back to trying to get girls on Omegle.
Good work. I got a good laugh out of it.
@Javed: Indian youth in india alone exports global IT solution worth more than 80 billion dollars a year and one cant even comprehend the indian IT professsionals in silicon valley, all that pakistan gets is one article by a pakistani journalist. One very famous IT person in pakistan is on record for saying that if Pakistan gets even 10% of India's business it will be sufficient for them..but you cannot if you make jihad out of every possible thing out there. The average age of the team which sent the mission to mars from India is 28 btw. So go on young brainwashed misguided pakistani youth cheer your self percieved victory where some geeks in a dark room hack a website which any average 14 year old can do and claim of being warriors lol
Who cares ? What point are you trying to prove. Ok you have hacked the website what next?? Indian software engineers dont have time to waste to hack a website of a 5th grade pakistan varsity. There are more importnat things to do in this world. This act and reporting this act is so immature it suits you pakistanis very well.
Maybe if the hackers knew proper English, then their attacks would have offended me. But with that level of English, I pity them.
@Demo: You do realize that we are talking about india here...
Pakistan shows its real colors again! Hope the much talented Indian software engineers won't waste their time hacking Pakistani web sites. They should concentrate on their future, more 'CEO' jobs are waiting for them like the Microsoft!
@Javed: Yes i have heard, but is Silicon Valley located in Pakistan? By the way i don't know if you got the news CEO of Microsoft is now an Indian.
Awwww...look at this, Pakistan has hackers.
@Acorn Guts: LOL a universtiry with weak passwords? Thats another joke in itself.
Democracy and Islamism cannot exist. Pakistan has proven this today. What happened to the big-hearted and progressive Pakistan?
