The Kerala Government websites
are very fragile and their hacking has now become a child’s play. The hacking
of 50 government websites allegedly by a Pakistani hacker is an indication in
this direction. The websites hacked include those of Kochi Metro, State Council
for Science, Technology and Environment, Hill Area Development Agency, State
Handloom Weavers Cooperative Society Limited etc. I can’t imagine the special
interest of Pakistani hacker in Kerala sites alone. Thanks to him for not doing
his job against Kerala Secondary Education Board website, which is now in total
despair due to the software failure and the subsequent debacle.
Though a probe has been
launched into the hacking, quite naturally as we have seen earlier, it will end
up nowhere. It is high time for the Government to hand over its website
management to a more responsible agency other than CDIT.
