New Delhi : After due diligence, the officials of National Informatics Centre (NIC) have confirmed that Ministry of Defence and any other website hosted at the NIC data centre had not been hacked and there had been no cyber attack of any nature.
The site showed what appeared to be a Chinese character and it was understandable that the site was perceived to be hacked. However, it has since been identified that the sites have not been hacked. Since late afternoon on April 6, 2018, due to a technical issue in storage, about 10 Government websites hosted at the NIC data centre became inaccessible to the public.
The website of Ministry of Defence, MHA, Department of public enterprises, Election commission, EPFO, Ministry of Labour, Department of Science & Technology have since been up & running, according to a PIB release. The NIC team assured the citizens that services would be restored soon for any other websites if they are facing any problems.
