The sites which have been attacked by the hackers were chosen randomly when their names matched with those to the movie. Hence not only the official website, but also fan sites and other sites carrying similar names were hacked into and defaced.Other than hacking into this movie’s website, the hackers also reportedly hacked into websites of the Indian press club to seek revenge for the hacking the Karachi Press club website. According to e-security expert from eScan, the hacking occurred due to poor programming and servers that run unpatched versions of the Operating system.

Till late evening there was no confirmation about any police complaint being filed regarding the attack.
