Lashkar web site hacked

Basharat Peer in NewDelhi.

The website of the Pakistan based militant outfit Lashkar-e-Tayiba has been hacked.

As you open the site www.lashkar-e-toiba.org, the home page has a banner stating 'Mera Bharath Mahan (India is great)' and the right corner has the Indian national flag flying.

The hacker who calls himself 'True Indian' said that the site has been Domain Name Server hacked by him as it contained inflammatory details about India and Kashmir.

Adding that he decided to deface it in order to counter the Pakistani hacker group G-force, which reportedly has the support of the Pakistani government.

The hacker also talks about his earlier attempts at hacking the Pakistani government web site www.pak.gov.pk and how he explained the DNS method of hacking to various international hacking monitoring organisations.

But the 'True Indian' seems to be in a very aggressive mood this time and said, "my mission is to infuse patriotism and I will not explain any technical points this time."

He calls himself a soldier of India's cyber army and appeals to fellow Indians interested in joining the cyber war against Pakistan at his email address: antigforce@yahoo.com

G-force is a Pakistani hacker group that had recently hacked the Ministry of External Affairs web site and posted a Pakistani flag on the homepage with a headline saying 'Kashmir is free'.

The Pakistani hacker group had also posted an essay about how Indians are paranoid about Inter Services Intelligence, the Pakistani intelligence agency.

The Indian hacker has also put a section of news items critical of Lashkar-e-tayiba on the site under the heading 'Truth Unleashed'.

Another section he has created on the home page is of 'hacked files' and contains the stuff on the Lashkar site before it was hacked. Hackers' opinions and anti-Lashkar, anti Pakistan slogans appear on every hacked file.
