The website and database of India’s consulate in New York have allegedly been hacked by the same hacker who dumped data from seven Indian missions in Europe and Africa online last week. The hacker, who goes by the name Kapustkiy on Twitter, claimed responsibility for hacking the Indian consulate’s website on Monday. Even a six-year-old could breach it,” Kapustkiy had told HT about the previous hack that targeted seven Indian missions in Africa and Europe. A hacker inserts malicious content into the database by using forms on the website, accessing the website code or via email. The hacker claimed to be under the age of 18 and a resident of the Netherlands.
