Conducting a cyber surgical strike in Pakistan, Indian warriors on the web today took down at least 30 Pakistan government websites to protest against the death sentence handed out to former Indian Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav.
A military court in Pakistan, ignoring all international norms and conventions announced the death penalty for Jadhav on 10 April, claiming that he was involved in espionage in Karachi and Balochistan.
Responding to this, a group on 11 Indian hackers named “lulzsec India” launched operation 'Justice for Kulbhushan Jadhav’ Tuesday, taking down at least 30 important websites of Pakistan government and leaving a message on each one of them.
"Charges against Kulbhushan Jadhav are fictitious, fake and farcical. There is no evidence of wrong doing by him. This is an act of ‘premeditated murder'. Earlier, it was Sarabjeet, now it's Jadhav,” message on one of the hacked websites read.
Cyber warriors from India ad Pakistan came face to face across cyber space soon after hackers from Pakistan attacked and defaced Indian websites after last September's terrorist attack on a military camp in the Uri sector.
Indian hackers had responded by taking down several Pakistan government-run websites. Pakistan had reportedly offered to pay the Indian hackers with Bitcoins to get their systems unlocked.
