After several govt websites including Defence and Home ministry were down, the government denied any hacking attempt, saying the websites were down due to malfunctioning of a data storage device.
“The websites were down because of malfunctioning of a data storage device. There was no hacking,” a top official in the government said, adding the websites are getting operational one after the other.
“The Chinese sign on the defence ministry website is nothing but the logo for the website,” the official added. "There are total 7-8 websites which are down and they were all connected to one storage device," said the official.
