Kapil Sibal's web site hacked
30 Nov 2012
Hackers attacked and defaced the web site of communications and information technology minister Kapil Sibal on Friday morning amid a growing campaign against amendments to the Information Technology Act, 2000 that made "grossly offensive" comments online illegal, a draconian measure against free speech.
Hacking group Anonymous claimed responsibility for defacing the `About Kapil Sibal' page of the minister's official web site `www.kapilsibalmp.com'.
''Kapil Sibal is the world's biggest retard. Born with a below 60 IQ he thought he could mess with the internet and let the elite of his party suppress freedom of speech,'' the hackers tweeted.
''He had used the words 'Victims of freedom of Expression'. He is hiding the fact that #66A is breaking the internet media,'' Anonymous said in its tweet.
Anonymous also opened a Twitter account called Section66a @Section66a and its profile detail saying, 'If I read anything I don't like, I will find you and I will hunt you down... (Does not represent actual govt. view...just to make it clear).'
The hacking comes days after the arrest of two Mumbai girls by the Maharashtra police over a Facebook post questioning the need of the bandh on the day Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray died.
