www.nsg.gov.in attached by Hackers- Offcial website of National Security Guardes

I don't understand when India will start taking IT seriously specially in the Government department. I have seen Govt. websites and IT department running without any security. Its only their luck that only few get hacked, what if hackers actually get to hack all one by one, they can do it easily as when there are tenders for IT stuff, they only complete tender which looks completed but as there is no one to check security, they don't bother to implement it either.

The spate of cyber attacks continues with the hackers hitting the official website of National Security Guard (NSG). According to multiple media reports, anonymous programmers attacked the website – www.nsg.gov.in, and corrupted some of its e-mail domains.

The NSG officials, though, turned down the possibilities of major damage and said that a formal probe into the suspected hacking attempt had been initiated. It is being speculated the source of attack exists outside the country. In the meantime, the officials are renewing the passwords and other confidential data to ensure optimum safety.

The reports say the hackers have struck the NSG website several times but the latest one is being described as a “serious” one, especially considering the sensitive data the NSG website hosted.
