January 25, 2016 23:26

The website of an institute under Symbiosis International University in Pune was hacked and its homepage defaced with "suspicious content" written in Arabic.

Chatushringi Police registered an offence in this regard late this evening.

"Some of our students from Symbiosis Institute of Mass Communication (SIMC), who accessed the website on late Sunday night, observed the homepage had some suspicious content written in Arabic and immediately alerted the institute administration," said Vidya Yerwadekar, Director-Principal of SIU.

"Since the content on the homepage was in Arabic and suspicious, we decided to alert our vendor looking after the website. The vendor later removed the content and the website is now working fine. We lodged a complaint with Cyber Cell of the city police against the alleged hackers," she said.
