The hackers had put messages related to Free Kashmir, Pakistan and also warned the Government of India.

No critical data, personally identifiable information or any other personal data was compromised, said officials.
The cyber attack was primarily aimed at spreading of information to the general public but the website that was targeted by hackers was a personal website.
