GUWAHATI: The official website of the Gauhati University was hacked on Friday morning with a Valentine’s Day message flashing on it.
University sources said this may be an attempt to defame the administration by breaching the cyber security wall of the university. “Message from GOD... HAPPY VALENTIENS DAY... MANISH” appeared on screen when some students tried to open the website on Friday morning. The main page itself remained inaccessible for hours. This was perhaps a “final attempt” to malign the leading state university’s image by defacing the main page of the official website as the institute is going to switch over to a new webpage soon which “cannot be hacked”, the sources added.
