Anonymous Takes Down Indian Gov Sites

Anonymous shoots back at Indian Govenrment trying to Censor the Web as we know.
After all that news and complaints of MTNL/Reliance and other ISP Broadband Users of sites getting blocked this has come up.

Anonymous has claimed responsibility for cyber-attacks on a host of Indian government websites, in retaliation to the country’s web censorship plans, which most recently blocked websites like Daily Motion, Pastebin, Vimeo and the The Pirate Bay.

Announcing the attacks, Anon_Central tweeted: "Namaste #India, your time has come to trash the current government and install a new one. Good luck."

Indian government websites that have been attacked by Anonymous include the All India Congress Committee, Indian Supreme Court, Copyrightlabs.in, Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Information Technology, and the Jammu & Kashmir Police.

India’s web censorship row started last year, and has since attracted global attention, and forced over 21 internet companies (including Facebook, Google, Microsoft and YouTube ) to remove ‘objectionable’ content from their websites.

Re: Anonymous Takes Donw Indian Gov Sites

The change in government is long overdue. But the next government won't be any better IMHO. Censoring the web is the most cowardly thing imaginable to be done by the Indian government.

How does suppression of freedom of expression make you a good neta? Would you support a neta who takes away your freedom of speech? I cannot tell the difference between a neta and a maggot on a corpse.

I think the main reason for the government to get serious about web censorship is Anna's campaign against corruption, which brew up a cyberstorm and reached out to people via the net. Now no maggot likes to be removed from the corpse it is so happily feeding upon. So, they decide to block the net to prevent something like this from happening.

For me, on MTNL first it says "Access to this site has been blocked as per Court Orders" and it loads properly when page is reloaded.. :lol:

Re: Anonymous Takes Donw Indian Gov Sites

nothing that like with Airtel here, opens in one go

Re: Anonymous Takes Donw Indian Gov Sites

The govt will just talk.I doubt they'll do anything.
Only facebook and 1 or 2 more are facing censorship.Google(Search,youtube,blogger) is out of it.India dropped the case against them

Re: Anonymous Takes Donw Indian Gov Sites

every site opening normally for me!!

Re: Anonymous Takes Donw Indian Gov Sites

This is where public sector companies have a stronghold, if they impose censorship, their actions can be protested against and even threaten to disconnect the services. Say that to a private company and you'll get the disconnection letter the day after.

I'm able to access the sites, via BSNL. What they are doing is simple DDoS attacks, undertaken by some jobless Yindian kids. I've idled at their irc channel and have found out they are nothing but wannabe anonymous hackers trying to make an impression, every 5-10 minutes they shout #tangodown dot.nic.in and blabber. What they do not realize is, it took so much planning, so much protests and hungerstrikes to pass a bill that the media supported(lokpal). Now with the entertainment industry's support for the ban, you think a group of wannabes can make a difference? I'd say it will be a miracle if it happens.

Denying access to site that are never accessed is not an eye opener, rather a "cool" thing to brag about.

Not talking in favour of anonymous but the sites blocked (mostly :-D

) are illegal sites and that piracy is happening because the contents provided in the sites (most of em) is not available in india or is too much for an average indian to handle! :-?

Most of them prefer to download the free stuff as they don't prefer to pay Rs.499 :-D

on an english album (even though there are other cases :mrgreen:

) What they should have done is discourage piracy by providing all the good stuff which can be handled by average indian (in most cases it cannot be, i know) But is such a bad idea to censor and challenge the open web without providing the good service, thats not fair

PS: i do support govt for taking down 300+ indian music sites :wink:

man they should have buyed the indian musics not pirate them :evil:

Re: Anonymous Takes Donw Indian Gov Sites

just a DDoS, sites will come back up in few days.
Indian - Computer Emergency Response Team is back to life after the attack.

Re: Anonymous Takes Donw Indian Gov Sites

Have some trust in the Indian Government. This will go on for sometime, when the dust settles, everything will be back to normal and people will quickly forget if this even happened.

as if the "mango"(Aam) Neta cares about that

if these impotent Anonymous craps want to show something they should hack the Swiss Bank Database pull out account details of every indian neta born and post it on any govt. website.
now that would be Ballsy

every 14-15 august the government sites get hacked by the enemy,in return our patriotic hackers hack thier sites

this.
B.S comes and B.S goes.

I guess BSNL haven't blocked any of the sites mentioned here. (pastebin,daily motion and blah blah).
I can access all of them. Thanks to BSNL anyways.
Also thanks to anonymous for these attacks to save our internet freedoms.
But i GUESS these attacks are by Pakistani hackers in the name of Anonymous.
Just a GUESS.

Congratulations Anonymous.

Keep the job up. But the main problem with this type of reply doesn't hart anyone who is responsible for the blocking order. Netas dont care about that. Actually most of the Neta's dont know what that hacking means.

When you hack 'em a 100 times or so, then they will start taking notice.

I think Anonymous should hack their bank accounts and reveal their bank balances to the public. Along with all their sources.
