Kochi Metro Rail website hacked

The website of Kochi Metro Rail Limited is down after an hacker attack.

A hacker group "ReZk2LL team," has claimed responsibility for the attack and posted messages against Israel and alleged the country of being a Nazi state par excellence.

NextBigWhat reports that the attack looks like the handiwork of hactivist groups from Kerala, a state which very actively debates world politics and humanitarian issues. The hack, although a minor one, must be viewed seriously. Public transport systems and utilities must not have gaping security holes in their cyber infrastructure that puts millions of people at risk.

Recently, the state owned telecommunication company BSNL faced a similar attack by the group which has been protesting the controversial section 66A of the Information Technology Act.
