No information loss in hacking: Kiran Kumar

Thiruvananthapuram/Bengaluru: ISRO Chairman Dr A.S Kiran Kumar on Monday said there was no information loss following the alleged hacking of the website of the space organisation’s commercial arm Antrix Corporation Ltd.

“In terms of information lost or any specific thing, absolutely nothing has happened because it is already going to be shifted to our ISRO site which is actually under construction,” he told reporters here.

Kumar said that when a site is under under construction, they are more vulnerable to hacking. “It is a case of Pharma hacking and not manual hacking,” he said.

“So basically what happens is that when some sites are under construction, they are more vulnerable. Advertisement people look for some credible sites through which they can put their information,” he said.
