Website hacked
IT was reported yesterday that suspected hackers from our neighboring country have brought down the website http://www.irsofficersonline.gov.in. Obviously, the hackers might not have got access to any "vital" details except of course, the history of posting etc. which, in any case, should do no much damage.
An IRS officer purportedly told the press - "Thankfully, the website does not have information that can compromise national security."
Since this happened on a weekend, it will naturally take time to get it up and running, after the officers return to work today.
As of now, the website proudly shows the following message -
Hopefully, the email ids the officers use for official communication is the one provided by NIC, else we may have a larger issue on our hands!
