Indian Telecom Regulatory Website HACKED

You are reading this first here - Security has been compromised at TRAI website. The website is hacked by “Crackers_Child”. I have alerted TRAI regarding the same. Here is a screenshot for you

Most Indian websites lack basic security and I am really glad that someone is teaching Indian Web Developers a good lesson. We write about India being the fastest growing Telecom market in the world but then, our regulators can’t protect their own website  TRAI needs to cleanup its mess in the IT department because even their e-mails don’t work -   try sending an e-mail to trai@del2.vsnl.net.in and it will bounce back.

This is not the first time such an incident has happened, last year, goBroadband exposed about poor security and QA issues on Bharti-Airtel Broadband portal as well as Business Today Magazine. Business Today hasn’t fixed it yet.
