IN: Cybercops wurden gehackt


-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-

Auch wenn das National Crime Records Bureau, laut Bericht des indischen
Financialexpress ansonsten hohen Wert auf IT-Investigationen legt, kaum sichtbares
Interesse zeigt, den Hacker der eigene Site zu verfolgen - haben täten sie ihn schon
gern.

Den anonymen Zugang zum FTP/WWW-Server 164.100.103.126 hat man nicht
abgedreht, dahinter wurde allerdings dicht gemacht, zumindest gegen den üblichen Set
der ftp-Commands.

New Delhi: One crime that the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) will not like to
enter in its own computerised data bank is the hacking of its own site. The nodal agency
of the home ministry - NCRB is perhaps too busy chasing distant outlaws, completely
ignoring the one at home.

The home page of NCRB, http://ncrb.nic.in has links to most of the state police
departments. But what one finds in the link to Calcutta Police (NCRB has not changed
to Kolkata yet) is something that NCRB would not like to investigate — sure methods of
increasing virility and sex drive!

The hacker seems to be of American origin or at least has US connections, considering
that the pornographic material is typically yankee in nature. Therefore, for a minute, one
can pardon NRCB. For, it happened with the link to Calcutta Police that was involved in
the investigations of the recent American Centre incident.

But what surprises most is that while the hacker uploads the page daily, NCRB has
obviously not visited the site for days on end. If they have, and have yet not carried out
any action, it calls for a bigger explanation. Maybe, like the Indian politicians, the police
also takes action only if a foreign hand is suspected. And if it is a neighbourly foreign
hand, the action is faster. But then, will Calcutta Police continue to boast the drive of a
different nature?

Technology is the new buzz in Indian police. Whether in criminal investigation or traffic
management, IT is the mantra.

But the mindset still seems to be old and rustic.

[...]

But will someone please stand up and own up the responsibility for not having checked
the Calcutta Police site?

This hacked site was discovered just when NCRB officials were busy explaining the IT
initiative in the high profile home ministry agency. For their claims.
