Anonymous hacks and defaces Kapil Sibal's website – Firstpost

Union Minister for Communication, Information and Technology, Kapil Sibal’s website was hacked by hacktivist group Anonymous’ Indian arm today. Srinivasan had tweeted that Karti Chidambaram had “amassed more wealth than Vadra.” An infuriated Chidambaram lodged a complaint against Srinivasan, following which he was arrested under Section 66A of India’s Information Technology [IT> Act. Kapil Sibal’s website defaced by Anonymous AnonOpsIndia on its Twitter account tweeted: “Why did the govt. When asked why they had hacked the account, AnonOpsIndia replied, “He used the words “Victims of freedom of Expression” He is hiding the fact that #66A is breaking the internet media.” There have been several isolated incidents in the past that have raised questions about Section 66A of the IT Act, but the arrest of two Palghar girls over a Bal Thackeray-related status message has created a furore.
