one was an Indian railway site in which it was proven that one could add text on the frontpage. Luckily they placed stupid hacker texts and not for example "all trains will be free on sunday". Imagine the mayhem.

and they are here

there were also other messages in their campaign like “Indians hit hard by Zaid Hamid” who is a Pakistani who says that the Mumbai attacks have been staged by the Indian Intelligence services and not by Pakistani. The same kind of idiots that think that Bush set up the 9/11 attacks but that on the web always find some public.

But this kind of cyberskirmishes between the two countries have been going on in the past. Even a Pakistan studycenter for nuclear energy was hacked oncein 1988.

Maybe one reason that the Pakistani are asking for Chinese assistance is that the Chinese broke this year into the internal network of the Indian Foreign Ministry, probably hacing access to internal files and emails. Maybe they wanted to check if the information they got from the hacks in the American networks was correct :)

Another thing is that the hacking groups on both sides have recently signed a peace agreement not to attack each other.

It is also strange because the Pakistani cyberlaw gives the death sentence for hacking. Although I would like to see the first Indian hacker to be send to Pakistan to be hanged and the first Pakistani hacker to be hanged for defacing an Indian website. Or as sign of piece, one could hang one of each next to each other :)

Serious now. The big difference between this cyberwar and the cyberwar in Israel is that here there are not hundreds of stupid websites that are being defaced all over the world. The numbers are very very low but the important difference is that they attack some very strategic websites and networks (oil networks; railways or the second largest Indan Bank)

For this reason this possible cyberwar is much more worrying.
