Shivamogga, May 28: The official website of the Kuvempu University was reportedly hacked on Monday by a hacker group. After hacking the website, a message was posted saying ‘Pakistan Zindabad’.

According to university sources, the website was in good condition till Sunday night. But on Monday morning, university vice chancellor Prof Jogan Shankar received a message about the hacking. Suddenly, he alerted the technical team of the university which restored the website after half an hour efforts. Now the website is available for public use.

After hacking the website, the hackers have posted a message which reads “whatever the security you have made, we will defy it. Pakistan Zindabad..” The university’s technical team has removed the message.

Normally, the hackers, once they hacked the website, would demand money to restore it. Otherwise, they would steal the data from the website and destroy software. But the hackers did not do that.

Complaint lodged

Prof Jogan Shankar said that the university has lodged a complaint with the Cyber crime police. As soon as the technical team noticed the hack, they have restored it. But as of now, there is no clue on the hackers. But truth will only come out after police investigation. Hackers have not demanded money and no data was stolen, he clarified.

Guwahati (PTI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday alleged that the Congress, during its previous 15 years of rule in Assam, "pocketed" Rs 150 crore per annum from the state healthcare budget.

Inaugurating and laying the foundation stone for healthcare projects worth Rs 2,092 crore in Assam, Shah said the BJP works for affordable healthcare for all sections of society and lauded Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for bringing the state's medical facilities at par with states like Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka.

"Assam's healthcare was in shambles 10 years ago as Congress worked only for the financial health of its leaders' families," he said.

Attacking Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, he said that no Indian supports his acts of "defaming" the country in his bid to oppose the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He lambasted the Congress for its "shirtless" protest at the recent AI summit in New Delhi and Gandhi for having 'chai-pakora' on the stairs of Parliament House.

"We were also in the opposition and staged protests against the government, but there is a right platform for it," he said.

"Parliament is a sacred seat of democracy. Its stairs should not be used for even dharnas. And Rahul Gandhi was having 'chai-pakora' there. Doesn't he know where to have his breakfast?" asked the Union minister.

Shah inaugurated the Rs 675-crore Pragjyotishpur Medical College and Hospital in Guwahati, at a programme held on its premises.

He also virtually inaugurated two cancer centres at Golaghat and Tinsukia, both under Assam Cancer Care Foundation (ACCF), constructed at a cost of Rs 135 crore each.

Shah virtually laid the foundation stone for super-speciality hospitals at Diphu Medical College and Hospital (Rs 220 crore), Jorhat Medical College and Hospital (Rs 310 crore), and Barpeta Medical College and Hospital (Rs 284 crore).

The foundation stone for a Rs 218-crore Swasthya Bhawan in Guwahati, and the Abhayapuri District Hospital (Rs 115 crore) were also laid by the Union home minister.

Shah arrived here on Saturday evening on a two-day visit to Assam, his fourth visit to the northeastern state in four months.
