NEW DELHI: Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS), India's largest software company, has restored its website tcs.com after hackers reportedly changed its domain name.
The hacker posted a "For Sale" message on the site, which was reportedly written in both French and English. The hack is believed to be a DNS hijack, similar to the attack that Twitter succumbed to in 2009.
According to a report in plugged.in, the hackers also provided their email id 'abed_uk@hotmail.com', besides displaying a whos.among.us widget to display how many people are on the site at any given point.
