Indian Railways Website Hacked: Conspiracy suspected

November 8th, 2008
from our traveling correspondent, currently on the Darjeeling Limited

The wave of websites being hacked continues, and following the hacking of the campaign websites of President-elect Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, it is the turn of the Indian Railways. There seems to be no visible effect of the hack, and although web security experts are mystified as to what the Indian Railways has in common with the other two victims, the Indian railway minister, again revealing his brilliant insight, has accused the current chief Minister of Bihar of employing subversive means for political gains. In an interesting twist to the case, the report of the website being hacked was made by a man many know to be a foot-soldier of the Bajrang Dal. The police have paid him his bus fare home to reward him for fulfilling his civic duty and quashed all suspicions that the Bajrang Dal might have well been behind the incident. The CBI has promised to use its trademark unknown methods to hopefully zero in on the suspect. "Actually, we hope to one in on the suspect" a CBI man clarified "since there is bound to be at least one suspect, and as we all know, one is not equal to zero". His mathematical background is being verified at the time of writing this article as we adhere to the strictest standards of journalism.
