Anonymous India brings down IIPM websites for over nine hours - Firstpost

Would you like to make Firstpost your default homepage?   Yes | No Hacker collective, Anonymous India on Saturday hacked and brought down IIPM websites, IIPM.in and IIPM.edu. The hacking comes as a reaction to the DOT order which asked Internet service providers (ISPs) to block over 73 urls which had articles that were critical of IIPM and its director Arindam Chaudhuri. The attack on www.iipm.in also affected www.iipm.edu as this website internally links to www.iipm.in. The websites was offline for nearly nine hours due to the attack. The directive to block these urls was issued after an order by a Gwalior district court. The list also includes a July 2012 notice by issued by the University Grants Commission (UGC) which states that "IIPM is not a university within the meaning of section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956″. When we tried accessing this Url it was indeed blocked, however since it is a PDF, we were able to see the actual document in quick view option on Google search. The UGC page being block has also sparked off jokes on Twitter that a government page has been blocked for the first time. Screengrab of IIPM website.
