As news about Pakistani hackers breaking into the varsity's website went viral yesterday, the university administration acted swiftly and closed it for a while.
As soon as the administration got information about hacking of the institute's website, it was closed. Later, when it was re-started, it was again hacked by them following which it was made offline by the concerned authorities, University's Media Officer, Diwakar Rajput said.
Describing themselves as the cyber world's Al-Qaeda, the hackers further wrote, "Bharat sarkar hume cyber apradhi manti hai...Haa hum cyber space ke Al-Qaeda hai (Indian government treats us as cyber criminals...Yes we are the Al-Qaeda of cyber space)."
Meanwhile, varsity authorities are planning to restore the website by this evening.
"The website will be re-started by this evening. Entire data is safe. A formal complaint has been registered in this regard with the Civil Lines Police Station and a report has been sent to the Union Human Resources Development Ministry on the issue," Rajput said.
