NEW DELHI: The official website of the IRS officers belonging to the Income Tax department was today hacked.
Officials said the website — irsofficersonline.Gov.In — was hacked late evening and a message posted on the wall of the portal read “Pak Cyber Thunders. Hacked by Pak MOnster!”
The website, they said, has been rendered inaccessible as of now.
A screen grab of the hacked site read: “shame on your security. Your site is hacked is because of your high security!” along with messages like “Pakistan Zindabad”.
Incidentally, the same portal was hacked in February last year and messages such as “Pakistan Zindabad” and “we are team Pak cyber attacker” were posted on it.
The website acts as an official communicator for work between the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and the I-T department’s field offices in the country. (AGENCIES)
