The Nuclear Sub Continent at high Tension

Posted by abdohoo On November - 29 - 2008

As India’s City Mumbai struck with dozens of terrorists, The India especially Indian Media start blaming Pakistan as usual like wise in the past. Now both countries are at their high tension and according to media reports, both countries alerted their Air Force. Indian Media is trying to portray the Pakistani image as a terrorist state as in the past. India Instead of trying to find the consequences and arresting the terrorists and accepting their intelligence failure, Started blame Game and making this region a flash point.

Security is already in Pakistani Airports and Prime Minister start meeting with political stake holders.

A small mistake by any country would lead this region to only a simple war but the nuclear one.

ONGC Indian Website Hack by Pakistani Hackers

Posted by abdohoo On November - 25 - 2008

“Is it a cyber war…?, if not sure I think that it is in beta version between Pakistan and India”

A few days ago when a group of Indian hackers hacked OGRA website, In response Pakistani hackers Group (Pak Cyber Army) hacked the Indian ONGC website.

The Pakistani hacker have the message on the site: ”

This is a message from PCA for HMG(script_kiddies) in return to the ogra defacement.
Backoff , go read some course books else you will loose both , your name and this game.
We will literally SMOKE YOUR DOORS OFF like other groups did before.
This is just a warning to Indian authorities either
to launch inquiry against HMG or get ready for more action.
We were sleeping but not Dead.
Now Face the consequences
HAroon + HAmza + ABunasar
Naveed + Hassan
Pakistan ZindaBad

This is just a warning to Indian authorities either to launch inquiry against HMG or get ready for more action ”

As the above lin shows, In real, Pak Cyber Army (PCA) asked Indian authorities to take HMG (the group that hacked OGRA’s website).

OGRA = Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Pakistan)

ONGC = Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (india)

Here is the screenshot of hacked website:
