Pakistan Railway Site Breached by Indian Hacktivists

On India’s Independence Day, hacker activists loyal to the country breached the official website of state-owned Pakistan Railways, reports The International News, a Pakistani newspaper.

Hacktivists, calling themselves “Black Dragon Indian Hacker Online Squad,” vandalized the transportation site to even the score, after Pakistanis allegedly infiltrated Indian sites.

“Hello citizens of Pakistan, this site has been hacked. Years of injustice and misbehaviour and bloodshed from Kashmir in India by Paksitan [sic]. Big numbers of Indian websites including Government are being hacked by your cyber brothers,” one message on the compromised site stated.
