TCS site hacked

Monday, February 8, 2010


Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) is one of the largest and leading software concerns. The official website of this software concern has been hacked and posted a banner with a message that the site is for sale. This message has been written in both English and French. It is believed to be a French hacker. Already in the year of 2009 twitter faced the same sort of problem.

The interesting thing is the hacker added a widget “whos.among.us” to display number of people on the site at any given point of time, and also an email Id to contact regarding the sale. People say that it could be a DNS hijack where the nameservers of the site have been changed.

Anyhow now the site has been restored and working fine
