Yesterday I received a call from relevant media resources the a website page of Gujarat High court has been hacked by PCA (Pakistan Cyber Army).
A well known black hat hacker Faisal hacked a page of website and put a message regarding repulsion towards Indian soldiers in Kashmir along with greeting Pakistani hackers.
They hacked a website page named 'Recruitment' on official website of Gujarat high court. However they neither steal nor delete any data.
As per primary observation this is obvious case of Web defacement. There are various techniques which may use for this act such as
- SQL injection
- XSS attack
- Buffer overflow etc.
Here we have to learn a recondite lesson that hackers can do anything. I always says "If a hacker decided to enter in you system(or network or anywhere) he will and you can't stop him. You can just make this process hard for him."
We can consider this hacker 'Faisal 1337' as a black hat hacker. There is also a Facebook page on his name. He have quite long list of the websites hacked by him including Shri lanka and Nepal's websites. He also keep record of his complots on facebook page. His major targets are Indian Government websites. Few months ago he hacked Kerala Government website. As a hit back a group of Indian Hackers called Mallu cyber soldiers hacked few websites of Pakistan Government. This kind of turbulence will continue in cyberspace from both side. But yes it is totally unpredictable how serious the next attack will.
I have shared my opinion to a regional news paper Divyabhaskar along with Mr.Himanshu Kikani - Respected Editor of Cybersafar Magazine.

As of now as part of counter action the website has been recovered and revamped by NICA but we cant say anything how severe threat are hidden for government or defense agencies from these kind of attackers. I will not say what and how to do it but I will just say that now government agencies have to become more activator as well as painstaking regarding this kind of issues.
