Pooja's 'lover' hacks Jamia Millia Islamia's website, cracks up Twitter
The official website of Jamia Millia Islamia University (http://jmi.ac.in/) was hacked late Monday night, triggering many reactions on social media. On visiting the website last night, visitors saw a birthday message for a certain Pooja. The website read, "Happy Birthday Pooja. Your love." Till now, no one has claimed responsibility for the hacking. The website has now been restored.
'Love-letter' greets students who visited the website
The website experience, last night, left visitors in smiles. "The website is on my phone bookmarks. I just happened to click it by mistake. But instead of seeing the usual page with the information about the university, I found this weird message of someone trying to express his/her love," said a final year student, Daud Arif.
Student visits website to check results, sees message
Another student who visited the website to see if scores for MPhil/PhD entrance exam were out had the same experience. "I accessed the website to check if the results for the MPhil/PhD entrance exam conducted in April were out or not. But instead, I found this message," a student, Archana Rao was quoted by a daily.
Jamia joins long list of websites hacked in the past
Jamia Millia Islamia has joined the long list of central government websites targeted by hackers. In the past, websites of Home, Defense, Law and Labor Ministries were attacked raising serious concerns about cybersecurity. But, unlike the previous episodes when pro-Pakistani captions were written on the websites, this time love took over Jamia's website. Things people do in love!
