The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has leaked more than 2 million email addresses; revenge Anonymous India
The official website of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) was hacked a few hours after it posted over 1 million email addresses of users who spoke in support of network neutrality.
A group of hackers called AnonOpsIndia claimed responsibility for a DDoS attack on the TRAI official website and hacked it. A few hours ago, AnonOpsIndia tweeted a message about blocking the trai.gov.in website via a DDoS attack.
More than a month ago, the Office (TRAI) published a consultation paper with 20 questions for Indian citizens to gather their opinion on network neutrality. Responses were expected via email (April) until April 24th.
The Office (TRAI) planned to allow telecom operators such as Vodafone and Airtel to block certain websites and applications in order to collect more money from both business and ordinary users, which is nothing more than a gross violation of network neutrality .
However, when every Internet user entered the SaveTheInternet campaign in support of network neutrality ...
... from the TRAI website there was a leak of email addresses of all users who already managed to send their response to the TRAI request for network neutrality, which is a jackpot for spammers, so for hackers.
In a series of tweets, a group of hackers explained that their motivation was the struggle for Internet freedom in India.
Here are some of these tweets:
The leak occurred just a few hours after the TRAI revealed the names and email addresses of more than 1 million users who sent their answers to the question on net neutrality, making all respondent addresses potentially accessible to spammers.
Meanwhile, TRAI officials have denied the hack and claim that the TRAI official website has stopped working due to some “technical issues.”

"Hosting has laid down" on all terminal. Thanks! Boom Boom #TRAI trai.gov.in Fuck you, TRAI!
Haha, what's good with TRAI if they can't manage their own fucking servers. Useless.
We are just a bunch of children who are trolling the “brilliant” minds of #TRAI, who have no idea what to do in such a situation. Sorry, India, you deserve more.
