A group of Pakistani hackers has said they have hacked 7,070 Indian websites and released a list of names early on Tuesday. The hackers are no experts, say cyber security specialists, but are 'script kiddies' or those who don't write their own code and use existing scripts to hack into websites.

Aravind Prakash, associate professor at Binghamton University, US, said, "There is always a school of thought that will argue, 'why can't we buy software'? But one must understand that you cannot trust these companies that we buy from to provide a vulnerability-free software or system. Intrusion or hacking happens when there are vulnerabilities."
