Mumbai: Rajya Sabha member and industrialist Vijay Mallya's personal website has been hacked allegedly by Pakistani hackers with threats that India's cyber space was not secured being posted on it.

The liquor baron's spokesperson Prakash Mirpuri has said that a complaint in this regard would be lodged with the city police.

A Pakistani flag was also depicted on the website of the chief of Kingfisher Airlines.

“Mr. Mallya's website www.mallyainparliament.com has been hacked and the Pakistani flag has been placed with a dire message from an organisation known as the Pakistan Cyber Army,” the spokesperson said. “A police complaint will be filed with the Cyber Crime Cell as soon as the (Cyber) cell opens on Monday,” he added.

Mr. Mallya said he was shocked at the defacement of his website.

“This morning when I went into my site, I was utterly shocked to see the Pakistani flag and the message,” he said, adding “what was more shocking to me was to see that it was done by some Pakistani outfit.”

Mr. Mallya said he would report the incident to the Union Government. The defaced site says, ‘feel the Pakistan' with danger signs and adds that “we are sleeping, not dead.”

“This is a payback from Pak Cyber Army in return to the defacements of Pakistani sites. You are playing with fire. This is not a game of kids. We are warning you one last time, don't think that you are secure in this cyber space We will turn your cyber space into hell,” the site says. - PTI
