Till date hackers were the one who were in news for hacking various websites for one reason or other. But yesterdays news about an ordinary man hacking Indian Passport website was a shock for most of us. Biggest surprise factor was that it went unnoticed for 4 months at stretch. This incident has raised questions about the credibility of India's websites and the way they are handled.
Luckily this guy didn't use the database India would have been in a difficult situation. Most IT companies in India and abroad had hired Software Engineers of Indian origin, due their intelligence and smartness.But seems like Indian software engineers are not able to safeguard their nations crucial websites. This incident is an example of it.
One question which pondered me after going through the news was "Isn't it a shame for Indian's globally?" Why aren't Indian brains willing to serve India, when they are ready to render their services globally? Such instances will have adverse effect on them and raise question about their ability to perform.
When a nations National websites is hacked by an ordinary man, one can just think about the security measured adopted the country in safeguarding the interest of its citizens. Specially in a country like India which is prone to terror attack any time. Who should be held responsible for it? Will this issue also subside like other incidents which rocked nation in past?
Whats you stand on this sensationalizing issue?
