However, BCA claimed that as Indian Grey hat hackers again attacked a number of Bangladesh websites around the end of February, BCA hacked and permanently disabled the website of Indian hacker community, hackerindia.com.
On March 7, Bd Xtor, a co-administrator and core hacker of BBHH, wrote to this Xtra correspondent claiming that Indian hackers have declared a cyber war again, thus initiating phase 2 of the war between Bangladesh and India. As of march 7, the Security Ray (TSR), an online journal, speculated that the total number of hacked sites now stands at 35,000.
The incident seriously questions the cyber security of Bangladesh, which is fairly new to the world of Information Technology.
In an exclusive conversation with New Age Xtra, hackers of bangladesh Cyber Army (BCA) pointed out the flaws in our cyber security recently. One of the hackers, who had hacked into Google Labs in september last year, said to Xtra, 'Hackers are always looked at in a negative light. But, most hackers try to find flaws in websites and servers. They (hackers) the write back to the administrator of the said website or server, pointing out the flaw and suggesting solutions to the administrator.'
BCA claimed to be the first hacker community in Bangladesh that was initiated in 2010. Members of BCA later formed the BBHH and 3CA. 'Over the years, our knowledge has grown as members in our community learn from peers. This helps them to learn more and do better in the profession of IT and software development,' said another hacker.
the hackers pointed out that hacking Bangladeshi and other South Asian websites have become convenient in the region. They also said that almost all government websites in Bangladesh have the lowest level of Web security.
'Bangladeshi hackers often hack these sites, without any financial or data loss. They put small marks or posts on websites that no visitor can understand except for the administrator,' said a hacker.
The hackers pointed out that important government sites have almost no security. 'But while these adminstrators never replied, the solutions we had mailed wwere never even implemented,' said one of them. 'At times the emails even bounced, signifying that the email addresses provided on the website are either inactive or they are not being chacked by the administrators,' said a hacker.
