The website www.Pak.Gov.Pk hosted by the Information Ministry has been blocked for the past three days by Indian hackers through the elementary Denial of Service (DoS) attack, the 'Dawn' daily quoted the officials as saying. Director in the Information Secretary's office, Rasheed, however, said "the web site is inaccessible because the server of the ISP is down. The ISP is trying to change the server." The report said the blocking of the site which provides basic information about Pakistan and links various government websites was the latest in a series of attacks in the current cyber warfare between hackers of the two countries. IT experts in the ministry claimed the web site was choked by DoS attack, launched through the Yaha Worm virus by the Indians, according to the report. The Internet Service Provider which maintains the web site was rated as poor by an independent organisation, the daily said adding "the report about poor service of the ISP was received by the Science and Technology Ministry on Friday". Officials in Pakistan's Ministry of Science and Technology said the Information Ministry lacked in technical expertise to protect the web site from professional hackers. DoS attacks involve flooding target computers with false requests for information, overloading the machines' capacity to respond leading to denial of service to legitimate users, the report said. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
