Hacker group Anonymous has hacked the official website of Union Minister for Communication, Information and Technology Kapil Sibal. The official website of Kapil Sibal ww.kapilsibalmp.com was hacked on Friday, by the hacker group. According to reports, Anonymous hacked the “constituency” section in his website and replaced the page with a picture portraying him as someone who considers 'freedom' harmful to the growth of the country.
Anonymous in its tweet had said 'Kapil Sibal's site is getting trolled links to come up soon'. The group also said that Kapil Sibal should look around the world before he say something as a protest against the IT Act and Sec 66. After the attack the official site has crashed.
Recently, there are a lot of discussions happening in the country about the Section 66 (A) of the IT Act which allegedly curtails the freedom of speech guaranteed by the Constitution of India. Using this section the Mumbai police arrested two girls who posted innocuous material on their facebook account criticizing bandh like situation in Mumbai after Bal Thackery's death.
On Thursday, the government has issued guidelines stipulating what the junior police officers need to do before filing an FIR under Section 66 (A) of the IT Act.
Earlier, government's move to regulate internet content had faced severe criticism from the netizens across the web.
