NEW DELHI: In a major security breach, the website of the National Security Guards (NSG) was hacked on Friday by anonymous programmers.
Sources said the e-mails of certain officers were also hacked after which orders were issued to all officers and the NSG unit posted at the Palam headquarters to avoid using internet services.
Confirming the attack, NSG spokesperson, Ajai Singh said, "The situation is not alarming. There was report of some damage of the NSG website following which cyber experts were called in to investigate into the matter. It is too early to say if there was any data theft. But the services have not been restored yet," he said.
He added that no important information is hosted on the website.
