Indian hackers busted
Concern over cyber crime is rising in India

Delhi Police have arrested two men for allegedly hacking a website in the
first ever cyber-crime case in India. 

The two were detained for allegedly blocking the website - go2nextjob.com -
which provides support and information to job-seekers and employers. 

This is probably the first instance where anyone has been arrested for cyber
crime
 
Police commissioner Rajan Bhagat  
The hackers posted a message on the website saying it was closed. 

The site is now back in operation and the hackers have been sent to judicial
custody for 14 days. 

"This is probably the first instance where anyone has been arrested for
cyber crime," said Rajan Bhagat, assistant commissioner of police. 

Landmark law 

The two men have been charged under a landmark law - the Information
Technology Act - which was approved by parliament last year. 

It allows police to enter and search public places, such as cybercafes,
without a warrant and to arrest suspects when they believe a cyber crime is
being committed. 

If found guilty, the two men face up to three years in prison and a fine of
about 200,000 rupees (nearly $5,000). 

Last month, India's leading software watchdog decided to use teenage hackers
to help them crackdown on cyber crime. 

The National Cyber Cop Committee - which was set up by the software industry
- said they would be advised by a group of hackers, between the ages of 14
and 19. 

India is very concerned about the growth of cyber-crime which could involve
unauthorised access, data alteration and the destruction and theft of
intellectual property.
