In: Police Detain Engineering Student for OUAT Website Hacking

Posted on January 18, 2016 by Dissent

The New Indian Express reports:

The Commissionerate of Police on Monday tracked down a student of a private engineering college for allegedly hacking the official website of Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT).

The student, a self-confessed ethical hacker, was identified after police traced his internet protocol (IP) address and proceeded to zero in on the system and internet user IDs. “He is being interrogated now,” Police Commissioner Dr RP Sharma said.

Read more on New Indian Express. The Orissa Post has additional details, including the name of the student and the fact that this sounds more like a defacement than the acquisition or alteration of any other data.
