Recently, the website of the Institute of Science, Nagpur was found hacked with the hackers identifying themselves as ‘DragonForce Malaysia’ whose message on its home page read that “it is a special operation on the insult of our Prophet Mohammad”, police said.
The hacking of the website occurred amid protests in parts of the country over the objectionable remarks made on Prophet Mohammad by now-suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and expelled party leader Naveen Kumar Jindal. Several countries, including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Jordan, Bahrain, Maldives, Malaysia, Oman, Iraq and Libya, have denounced their comments.
“The home page of the website carried a message in which people were urged to unite and start a campaign against India. The website was hacked through a malware. The hackers identified themselves as ‘DragonForce Malaysia’,” police inspector (Cyber) Nitin Phatangare said.
