Indian Hackers Pay Unique Tribute To Pathankot Martyrs By Attacking 7 Pakistani Websites

The 8 brave soldiers who were martyred in Pathankot will never be forgotten and Kerala-based hacker site, Indian Black Hats (IBH) made sure of it.

The group targetted 7 Pakistani websites, including Pakistani Bar Council and wrote and dedicated the attack to the 18-month-old daughter of the late Lt. Col. Niranjan Kumar of the National Security Guards. They wrote:

A hacker named Ind_C0d3r said, “We hacked some Pakistan websites and domains as a tribute to the bravehearts who were killed in the Pathankot attack on Sunday, and we have dedicated it to Lt Col Niranjan Kumar’s little daughter Vismaya.”

 

They hacked 7 sites that include www.csd.gov.pk, www.pakistanbarcouncil.org, www.mona.gov.pk, www.fotile.pk, www.maslamsons.com, www.cpakgulf.org, and www.solp.pk and all have a picture of Vismaya with the following message:

Incidentally, ‘We are Legion. We do not Forgive. We do not Forget.We are Anonymous.’  is the very famous tagline of hacktivists group Anonymous, that is famous for its Cyber-war crusades against ISIS, and it’s the exact opposite of the above-mentioned message by IBH. Which, if we think can have many meanings, including the message that ‘we’re peace loving. So don’t expect us to stoop to your level’.

s The hackers haven’t deleted any of the comments on the hacked sites yet and have no intentions of doing so as they call it a cyber war that is a tribute to the late Lieutenant and Vismaya, the daughter who survived him.

 

Indian Black Hats, which was previously known as Indian Cyber Devils from the time they started in 2011, to the time they changed their name in 2014.

IBH was previously also associated with the hacking of 10 Pakistani websites in November 2014, as a tribute to the Martyrs of the attacks in Mumbai in the year 2008.

Not really the best way to react, but they sure are getting their word across.
