Kerala government website hacked, responsibility claimed
The official website of the 'General Administration Department' (GAD) of the Indian state of Kerala has recently been targeted by hackers. Following this incident, access to the website was temporarily suspended to address security concerns.
According to reports, responsibility for this hacking has been claimed by a group suspected to have ties to Pakistan. The hackers left their messages on the website's homepage, which alerted authorities to the attack immediately.
Kerala's Department of Information Technology confirmed the incident and stated that teams of experts are working on restoring the website and improving its security. Officials say that an assessment is being conducted to determine if any sensitive data was lost in the attack.
Cybersecurity experts have described this incident as a significant security challenge. They have advised government institutions to ensure the implementation of advanced protective measures (firewalls) to safeguard their websites and prevent such incidents in the future.
Currently, investigative agencies are attempting to determine how the hackers bypassed the security system. This incident has once again sparked a global debate regarding the protection of digital assets.
