Who gives a damn?

The Center is run by a bunch of bureaucrats who are generally appointed for life. Not a single person will be fired. Not a single person will own up for being responsible. But now, they can demand more funds in the name of security - which will indubitably go into their pockets

>> now, they can demand more funds in the name of security

Yes; sadly, this is what would happen. The authorities would demand and obtain more funds (and authority!) 'to counter the serious threats to websites that are part of crucial national infrastructure'.#

The real deal will begin only when the (incompetent) media notices the episode. Media would encash it by crying hoarse, running debates and discussions (with certified idiots## in the panel) on this trivial stuff, if at all it happens.

#even though that infrastructure contains ultra-outdated and next-to-useless info.

While I'm glad that the world is watching everything that's happening in India right now, but the saddening fact remains that the Indian government won't give a damn about anonymous defacing it's websites. This action by anonymous will run in the media for a day or two and it will be forgotten by everyone after that.

Is it related in anyway to the ongoing protests in India?

You mean http://www.firstpost.com/politics/trapped-in-politics-india%...

This should be amusing - the rage of anonymous vs the complete apathy of the Indian state. This is the equivalent of Anonymous purposely hell banning itself.

Please don't deface Indian web sites. No one cares - esp. govt. sites. At max. you will be helping the corrupt get even more rich by giving them an excuse to allocate more funds.

Is this for real? The websites seems to be fine and up now. Can someone confirm?

loads fine for me too... may be it already got reverted back..

looks like its just the subdomain: http://informatics.nic.in/

yes, it's just the subdomain

well, it's already been fixed now.

Yup, they hacked it.
