Websites of Tamil TV channels hacked

The websites of two popular Tamil television channels, including ‘Puthiya Thalaimurai,’ were hacked on 16 November.

Pakistan Haxors Crew (PHC), the group that allegedly hacked the AIADMK party website on November 2, has claimed responsibility for this as well in a posting made on the defaced homepages.

The management of ‘Puthiya Thalaimurai’ channel has lodged a complaint with the Chennai Police.

When this reporter visited www.sunnetwork.in, the homepage of the Sun Group was also found defaced. The homepage of all the three websites looked similar, giving room to suspicion that the same group was involved.

The suspects said on the defaced homepage that they wanted justice and peace. They also wanted the release of the “innocent kid,” in an apparent reference to P. Eswaran (27) of Bangalore who was arrested by the Central Crime Branch (CCB) of the Chennai Police, on charges of attempting to hack into the AIADMK party website.

Additional Commissioner of Police (CCB) R.S. Nallasivam said Eswaran was not the real hacker. But he had made at least 300 attempts to enter the administrator’s account of the AIADMK party website.
