THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: On Sunday, state woke up to the news that the official website of Kerala Government – www.kerala.gov.in – was hacked allegedly by Pakistani hackers. The website had an image of burning Indian flag and messages such as Pakistan Zindabad", "We are Team Pak Cyber Attacker" and "Security is just an illusion". But a few expected a tit for tat reply and that it too within hours. Anonymous cyber groups 'Mallu Cyber Soldiers' and 'Hell shield Hackers' have hacked around 120 Pak websites, which include Pakistan's government website Pakistan.gov.pk, president.gov.pk and cabinet.gov.pk.

Mallu Cyber group, in their facebook page, has stated that it has defaced another four sites. The defaced page sts.edu.pk has image of burning Pakistan flag with messages 'Better stay away from Indian Cyber Space'. The cyber attack has been named as 'Operation Pak Cyber Space' and the hackers have claimed that it was a payback for hacking www.kerala.gov.in. Both Kerala government and Pakistani government are yet to restore the sites.
