At least 10 govt websites hit by glitches in hardware, data storage
At least ten government websites, including those of the Union Defence, Law, and Home ministries, were hit by glitches in the hardware and data storage facility of the National Informatics Centre, a top cyber-security official said.
The Ministry of Defence website, which displayed an error message bearing a Chinese character meaning "Zen," was not hacked, National Cyber Security Coordinator Gulshan Rai said.
Investigations of the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT.IN) showed that glitches in the NIC's "storage facility" had caused the websites to shut down, Rai told India Today.
There has been no cyber attack, he reiterated.
Earlier, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had promised prompt restoration of her ministry's site.
"Action is initiated after the hacking of MoD website," she wrote in a tweet. "Needless to say, every possible step required to prevent any such eventuality in the future will be taken."
