Kochi: Amidst rumours that there might be an India-Pak war, Keralites have already started a war against Pakistanis. To be precise, a cyber war. Pakistani Electric Power Company- (PEPCO) , Quaid-E-Azam Divisional Public School and College, a Pakistani educational institution and the website of the National University of Modern Languages, Lahore Campus, were hacked by Lalettan fans in retaliation for hacking Mohanlal's official website.
Keralites known for their expertise in cyber warfare also spammed the Facebook post of Pakistan Defence. They posted their comments in Malayalam on each and every posts updated by the Pakistan Defence force.
Interestingly, Malayali hackers managed to make it funnier by posting the photo of Mohanlal’s epic dialogue 'Nee Po Mone Dineshaa' on the hacked websites. "Payback for hacking our Lalettan's website", the hacked page read.
Actor Mohanlal's connection with the Territorial Army was the main reason for the hacking incident. A hacker calling himself Devil Haxor managed to intrude into the official website of Mohanlal. He uploaded an image of Pakistan flag and posted messages and separatist slogans. The hacker bragged he had hacked an Indian Army site and it was an Eid gift. Interestingly, the hacker mistook the website as that of the Army.
On Thursday, on the website of the National University of Modern Languages, Lahore Campus, hackers calling themselves ‘The Malalyali Army' challenged the Pakistanis to first take back the site and then consider seizing Kashmir.
Meanwhile, in another incident, the official website of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) got hacked. Indian Hackers Online Squad hacked the website and posted pictures of the Indian flag on the website. The hackers criticised PPP chief Bilawal Butto, for his recent comment about taking Kashmir back from India. The sites are still under the control of hackers. Actor Mohanlal had lodged a complaint against the hacker. His official page was restored after 30 minutes.
