A
team of 'ethical' Pakistani hackers have reportedly attacked Google's
Malaysia domain, and made the site inaccessible to users for a day.
The
hackers, who call themselves 'Team Madleets', and its lead hacker, who
identifies himself a '1337' have claimed responsibility for the attack.
According
to Dawn News, the hackers' Facebook page boasts of attacks on several
other high-profile intrusions across the world but they insist that they
are focused only on helping countries improve their security.
The
team said that there is not much reason behind their attacks, but only
to prove that security is just an illusion and it does not exist, adding
that they have no political intentions whatsoever.
Meanwhile,
Google confirmed that it was DNS attack but its services were not
affected by it and users were rather redirected to another site, the
report added.
