Indian man convicted in Dubai for hacking 15 client websites
Dubai: A 33-year-old Indian IT programmer has been sentenced to three months in prison followed by deportation for hacking 15 client websites after his employer deducted USD 1,080 from his salary, according to a media report.
The Dubai Court of First Instance on Monday charged the man with hacking websites and issuing threats, Gulf News reported.
The man, who was not identified, was also handed a three-month suspended jail term and will be deported immediately, the report said.
According to official records, the defendant, who worked as a computer programmer with the media company, resigned and threatened to hack its client websites after 4,000 dirhams (USD 1,080) was deducted from his salary.
"He sent WhatsApp messages to another programmer at the company saying that he will hack the websites if the company did not repay him the 4,000 dirhams deducted from his salary.
"He was informed that the deduction would be made if he resigned before the end of the probation period," said the company owner.
After investigation, the police said that the data found on the defendant's personal laptop confirmed that he had accessed the websites.
The defendant denied the charges.

NCBC summons Karnataka Chief Secretary over Muslim quota inclusion
New Delhi: The Chairman of the National Commission for Backward Classes, Hansraj Ahir, has called upon the Karnataka Chief Secretary to elucidate the rationale behind the inclusion of the entire Muslim community in the OBC category in Karnataka.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has levied accusations against the Congress party, alleging the transfer of reservation benefits from other backward classes to their electoral constituencies.
"This is a blatant effort to Islamize India and sow division within the nation. Similar endeavours were undertaken during the UPA government's tenure, which the BJP vehemently opposed. Disregarding the Justice Verma Committee Report and the Sachar Committee Report, this is an attempt by the Congress to plunder the reservation entitlements of other backward classes, SCs, and STs," asserted Uttar Pradesh CM Adityanath.
In response to these developments, the NCBC Chairman has summoned the Chief Secretary of Karnataka, instructing them to furnish a comprehensive report outlining the criteria used to classify the Muslim community as educationally and socially backward, thereby granting them 4 percent reservation under Category 2B.
Karnataka's state government currently extends reservation to 17 socially and educationally backward Muslim communities under Category 1 and 19 communities under Category 2A.
