Congress Website Hacked, Sonia Gandhi's Profile Defaced

The official website of Congress was hacked yesterday. Another big news with this issue is the profile of President of the Congress party, Sonia Gandhi was defaced with hackers. The hackers placed sexual innuendo and other content on the webpage. The website is now recovered and running again.
Reuters reported, hackers attacked the site on the party president's 65th birthday on Friday.



While meantime, the official website of Congress wasn’t available for public viewing around noon on Friday. It means that the website was most probably hacked earlier. Hackers attacked the website just after India urged social media networks including Facebook, Twitter and Google to remove offensive material from their websites, unleashing a storm of criticism from Internet users complaining of censorship.

A New York Times reported on Monday, Telecoms and Information Technology Minister Kapil Sibal called executives about six weeks ago and showed them a Facebook page that maligned Gandhi and told them it was "unacceptable."
