Rajasthan Education Department website hacked; Hackers call Pahalgam attack an ‘inside job’
Jaipur: The official website of the Rajasthan Education Department was hacked on Tuesday morning by a group identifying itself as Pakistani hackers. The attackers defaced the homepage with a poster declaring the recent Pahalgam terror attack an “inside job” allegedly orchestrated by the Indian government.
The message on the hacked website read, “Pahalgam was not an attack. It was an inside job... The next strike won’t be with bullets, but with a digital assault. No borders. No warnings. No mercy.” The poster also included a viral image labeling a woman as a “paid actor” in the aftermath of the Pahalgam incident.
Following the breach, the department’s IT team took the website offline and launched recovery operations. Education Minister Madan Dilawar stated that no sensitive data appears to have been compromised and a full investigation is underway.
This is the latest in a series of cyberattacks targeting Rajasthan government websites. On Monday, similar breaches were reported on the websites of the Department of Local Bodies (DLB) and Jaipur Development Authority (JDA), where hackers posted pro-Pakistan propaganda. Those websites have since been restored.
Cybersecurity agencies are actively tracking the group behind the attacks, with initial indications pointing to a group calling itself the ‘Pakistan Cyber Force,’ according to NDTV.

Neeraj Chopra wins Golden Spike meet
Ostrava (Czech Republic), Jun 24 (PTI): Indian javelin throw superstar Neeraj Chopra on Tuesday clinched the title at the Golden Spike meet in his maiden appearance here, his back-to-back win in a top-class competition.
Fresh from his Paris Diamond League win on June 20, Chopra emerged on top in a nine-man field here though with a modest effort of 85.29m in the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event.
He had skipped the last two editions of Golden Spike -- an event that his coach Jan Zelezny won nine times in a storied career -- due to fitness issues.
The 27-year-old Chopra has had an impressive season so far, having won his first Diamond League title in two years in Paris after also breaching the elusive 90m mark during his second place finish in Doha DL in May.
