West Bengal: Jadavpur University website hacked

The official website of Jadavpur University has been allegedly hacked.

It was found out this morning that once anyone clicked on the admissions section on the home page, it was either directed to a porn site straightaway or several pop up ads appeared which, when clicked on, would take you to dating or adult sites.

University authorities admitted about the incident. “Yes. I have heard about the incident and have informed my officials concerned to take care of it. We have also put in a police report against the hacking,” said Pradeep Ghosh, registrar, Jadavpur University.

This is the second time the website had been hacked in quick successions. In December last year, while the hokkolorob movement was on, against the lathi charge on students by police allegedly on the behest of the then vice chancellor Abjijit Chakrborty, the site had been reportedly hacked and hackers had put up an ‘I am sorry’ message at the VC’s desk button.
