While the NIC maintains a studied silence over the entire issue, sources in the security establishment say that the safety mechanism of the NIC was not up to the mark and several reminders were being sent to them for upgrading their hardware. The official website of the CBI was hacked by the 'Pakistani Cyber Army' on the intervening night of December 3 and 4. The CBI had yesterday registered a case against unknown persons in this connection.
