Gauhati University's official website hacked by miscreants

Guwahati: The official website of Gauhati University (www.gu.ac.in) was hacked on Friday by some unidentified miscreants.

The incident came into light when some users reported it to the GU authorities. In a message that was flashed on the official site, the hackers wrote that they would reveal every secret of the university if their demands are not fulfilled.

The message appearing on the varsity's website reads "FAKE FREE ADMISSION? WOW! YOU GUYS REALLY LOVE TO GET HACKED! DON'T YOU?" The message further quoted, "Let's talk about the matter? Straight to the point! What the f**k you guys are up to Guwahati University? Do you even know how much students are struggling for exam fees and admission?"

"Let us directly clue you guys (GU officials) in! This HACK is "NOT" for fun. We can get access to each and everything Guwahati University literally owns! You guys better watch your back," the message adds further. "Either GU should suppress their called exams fees and admission fees. OR GU should CANCEL EXAMS," it added.

In the video, a youth could be seen slamming the GU authorities for urging the students to take admission, even when the city is under complete lockdown.

At the time of filing of this report, the University website is functioning as normal, and it appears that the hack has been remedied.
