If you are an IT guy or a "NERD" in common man language, it is a big insult if some outsider encroaches your boundry, but our goverment and politicians has killed the honoured in us. On friday 11 July, 2010 the site of punjab police was hacked. Though not a big deal but guess who was the hacker. A dirty low life group of Indian Punjab. But IT persons here dont feel dis honoured at all. There might be two reasons for that, one goverments unsupportive attitude towards IT field. Infact people think that by this goverment has come to know that there is a skilfull field known as IT out there. Secondly WE CANT DO ANY THING. Yes in blocks why. Reason is that defense of this website was not in our hands. Another proof that goverment doesnt trust local professionals. Or the goverment officials wanted to make money that they granted the hosting to CystalTech in USA. Yes guys its true most of our sites are hosted by foriegn hosting firms, infact all goverment sites even intelligence. I love my country but still i would praise that fellow(hacker) who has eliminated this discrimination between foriegn and local web hosting firms infact local are better. Keeping in out log is easy but monitoring it is difficult. Locals do that the best and our sites are safe here i think. We will also create jobs by bringing our sites home and show responsibility as well. Take example of an average social forum sites availabilty has never been an issue. Dependability no chance. The point is a site administored and manged by an ordinary professional is safe then why the web hosting firms dont emphasize on security. It might be evident to you that hackers strike on large scale because big site hacked is a big story for press and media. But the truth is a site is a target for and inethical hacker no matter what the size or fame.
Conclusively I will end by saying that "EVEN A STOPPED CLOCK TELLS RIGHT TIME TWICE A DAY". Trust locals stop running after others.
