NEW DELHI: Hacker group Anonymous India has brought down Indian telecom regulator Trai ’s official website following the public release of email IDs from which the body received responses regarding net neutrality In a series of tweets, Anonymous India claimed responsibility for bringing down train.gov.in and also warned that the site will soon be hacked. It looks like the group has launched a DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack on the website to make it inaccessible.We were not able to access the Trai website including the pages that feature email IDs of people who sent responses to Trai’s net neutrality consultation paper.In a response to a Twitter user about the attack, Anonymous India said it was “just preventing spammers from accessing those Email IDs posted by Trai publicly.”Earlier today, Trai had released the list of email IDs from which it received responses regarding net neutrality, threatening the privacy of over a million internet users in India.This move has led to widespread criticism of Trai, slamming the organization for making it easy for spammers to get a huge database of email IDs in one fell swoop. Netizens exult in people power The list is published on its website and has emails categorized by date; the data is available for all dates between March 27 and April 24, except April 14 and 15. The document can also be searched via keywords.The regulatory body says that it has received large number of comments from the stakeholders on its Consultation paper on “Regulatory Framework for OTT services”. So to aid the reading of comments, it has divided them into three blocks — ‘comments from the service providers’, ‘comments from the service providers’ association’ and ‘comments from other stakeholders’ (this includes individuals, organizations, consulting firms etc).Trai on March 27 had put up a consultation paper on its website asking users to give their views on net neutrality in India. The last day to vote for the campaign was April 24.>>> @toi_tech
