The Pakistan cyber army has struck again. This time it has hacked into the parliamentary website of Rajya Sabha member Vijay Mallya.

The Bangalore-based liquor baron found to his shock that his website, www.mallyainparliament.com, was not only hacked into, but also carried warnings of turning “Indian cyberspace into hell”. Mallya has lodged a complaint with the Delhi cyber police.

“The Pak cyber army was only sleeping, not dead… This is a payback from Pak cyber army in retaliation to the defacements of Pakistani sites! You are playing with fire! This is not a game for kids. We are warning you one last time; don’t think you are secure in this cyber space. We will turn your cyber space into hell… we gonna literally throw you in the deep sea… Will [take] revenge if any Pakistani site is hacked by Indians!” the Pakistan cyber army warning said.

The Pakistan cyber army also has an account on social networking site Facebook on which it has said that Indian hackers have been playing havoc with Pakistani cyber communities and websites for a long time and that “they [Indians] think Pakistanis can’t do anything.”

It has also assured all Pakistani internet users that they can now sleep in peace because it has woken up. “All Pakistani internet users and website owners, sleep tight, ‘coz PCA [Pakistan Cyber Army] is waking!!! PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!!!” it said on Facebook.

The Pakistan Cyber Army alleged that HMG, a group of Indian web hackers, had hacked Pakistan’s official and important websites in the past, and its recent spate of hacking of Indian websites is to show the world that Pakistanis were no lesser than Indians in the field of cyberspace.

Since 2007, the Pakistan Cyber Army has hacked several Indian websites including that of India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation. Statistics from the Computer Emergency Response Team, an official Indian government organisation which looks into computer security in the country, reveals that more than 4,300 Indian websites have been hacked from January to June, 2010.
