Army Nursing College Website Hacked Days After Pahalgam Terror Attack

New Delhi:

Days after the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, the website of the Army College of Nursing has been hacked, allegedly by a Pakistan-based hacker group called Team Insane PK.

The hackers’ attack comes two days after India announced a series of measures against Pakistan, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and declaring the defence advisors in the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi “persona non grata”. India upped the ante on Thursday, announcing that Pakistani visas were being revoked – barring long-term visas issued to Hindu Pakistani nationals – and gave most Pakistanis 72 hours to leave the country. 

Pakistan responded with its own measures – some of them tit-for-tat – including saying that it “shall exercise the right” to put all bilateral agreements – including the key Simla Agreement – on hold and closing its airspace for Indian airlines. 

The hackers left an inflammatory message on the Army College Of Nursing’s website, speaking, among other things, about the two-nation theory.

Army sources said the institution is an autonomous one and will have to seek the help of the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), which is the national nodal agency for responding to computer security incidents.
