Airport website hacked by ‘neighbour’

Mumbai: Thursday morning would have started with a shock for those who began their day visiting the website of the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA).
The website welcomed surfers with the picture of a wrecked plane captioned that it was of a crashin Mumbai with at least 1,000 casualties. But as they scrolled down the page, it was revealed that is was a joke.
The Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), however, did not take kindly to their website being hacked. “We have no immediate information on who was behind this. A complaint has been lodged at the cyber crime cell of the Mumbai police. MIAL is taking all necessary steps to restore the website as soon as possible,” an MIAL spokesperson said. The website was restored by around 10pm.
According to sources, the hackers claimed to hail from a neighbouring country which is a matter of investigation.
