Amid the hostilities between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue, cybercriminals from across the border on Sunday hacked Bihar Education Department website and posted "we love Pakistan" slogans on it. The hackers removed the information of the education department and posted several pro-Pakistani slogans on the website.
As soon as the authorities came to know about the hacking, the education department restored the website. This is not the first time pro-Pakistani hackers have attacked websites of Indian institutions.
Recently, the official website of Bharatiya Janata Party’s Delhi wing got hacked. The hackers on the website replaced several pages of the website with recipes of Beef dishes, accompanied with the message: Hacked by 'Shadow_V1P3R'. The hacker replaced the word BJP with the word BEEF. The About BJP has been edited to About BEEF, BJP History has been changed BEEF History. Rest of the contents of the homepage remain untouched.
