The homepage was filled with profane messages.

New Delhi, Oct. 3: The website of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Monday came under cyber attack after it was hacked, presumably by a Pakistani group, claiming to take revenge for the 'surgical strikes' carried out by the Indian Army last week across the Line of Control (LoC).

The cyber attack was noticed around 7:15 p.m. this evening.

"Website stamped by D4RK 4NG31," read the title message on the homepage of the NGT's site.

The website was left with a page filled with curse words and the Pakistani national anthem as a background track.

"We are Unbeatable. You... kill innocent people in Kashmir and call yourself defenders of your country. You... violate the ceasefire on border and call it 'Surgical Strikes'. Now kiss the... of Cyber War," the hackers said.

This is the second time after 2013 that the website has been hacked.

The Indian army carried out the surgical strikes on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday last week in which it had hit seven terrorist launch pads across the LoC.
