At least 22 websites of Rajasthan government were destroyed by hackers, mostly from Pakistan, in February. They had deleted data or even stolen them from the sites of important departments including technical education, college education and finance.
However, instead of improving the technical security, the only step taken by the government was to upload the data again............
In fact, Rajasthan is one of the most vulnerable states in terms of security of websites if one goes by what Union minister of state for communications and IT Sachin Pilot said in Parliament on Wednesday. He said that 112 government websites, including those of the agencies in the government of Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu were compromised by hackers in the past three months................
The attacks on government websites indicate their vulnerability, especially domains ending with gov.in....................
The state government websites are so vulnerable that even a person having basic hacking knowledge can destroy them. Most government websites in Rajasthan run on single server. If a hacker got a single vulnerability or loophole in any of these sites, other sites can also be compromised by uploading a backdoor 'shell'. After that, the hackers get total over the website server................
