An old website of BJP's Goa unit was hacked Monday by unknown persons, who posted the message 'Pakistan Zindabad' on it, a party functionary said.
The identity of the group which possibly carried out the cyber attack "Team PCE" and an individual's name "Mohammad Bilal" were also posted on the web page, after it was hacked.
The hacker, after defacing the website, left the message "mailto:catch.if.you.can@hotmail.com".
A BJP functionary attached to the party's IT cell said the website in question was an old one. He added that the new website has anti-hacking security measures in place.
