Websites of many educational institutions hacked

BHUBANESWAR: In a cyber attack of sorts, websites of scores of educational institutions of the State were found defaced by unidentified hackers on Sunday. This has sent the managements in a tizzy.
The targets included Government universities and private technical institutes besides portals of other organisations. The hacker, who identified himself/herself as K9 Network Cyber Army, posted messages ‘protesting militarization of Jammu and Kashmir’.
The two major universities of the City are also among the victims. Utkal University of Culture found its websites compromised by hacker ‘Mahesh’. Some of the private institutes such as Mahavir Institute of Engineering and Technology, Majhighariani Institute of Technology and Science and Majhighariani Institute of Polytechnic found their websites attacked by the hacker too. A bio-diesel project of Majhighariani was also compromised.
Most of the hacked websites are hosted by All India Online which is the host for a majority of Odisha colleges’ and other institutions’ websites. One of the dedicated servers of All India Online appears to have been hacked........
