    Now, this is really getting serious – Not only are Government websites getting continuously hacked, but user data is also getting compromised. According to the THN news, the hackers have managed to get their hands on information of over 10,000 BSNL Users regarding their name, email, phone number and location & BSNL’s internal working of VPN ,detail of circuits and as well as more technical details.

    Even after such repeat hack attacks, Indian government agencies are not able to secure their servers and websites. Less than a month back NIC website was hacked by Annonymous group and now BSNL is hacked by PCA.

    When will our government wakeup and employ competent people who can secure our servers & websites !

    This is really a very big problem as the confidential information can be shared on the internet or can be used by our enemies. If the Govt. websites are not secure how can other be.
