Al-Falah University of Faridabad has been hacked by a group that identifies itself as the ‘Indian Cyber Alliance.’ This incident happened only a day after the horrific bomb blast near the Red Fort metro station in Delhi. The group stated that the radical universities should not be permitted to operate on Indian soil. Their allegations reportedly came from the university’s controversial links with terror groups. 

Hacker's Message Condemns 'Anti-National Activities'

The Indian Cyber Alliance left a stark message condemning "radical Islamic activities" and warning the university against engaging in activities labeled as anti-national by the group of hackers.

People who visited the site were immediately greeted with this threatening message. The group also advised extremists to leave the country and relocate to Pakistan. Their message framed this as a warning, indicating they were monitoring the university's activities. However, the website was later restored by the university administration.

Al-Falah University came under intense police scrutiny after a terror module was discovered. Three doctors from the faculty were arrested for having connections with the "white-collar terror module." A teacher from the university, who is identified as Dr. Muzammil Ganaie, was also arrested.

This material was found in the accommodation rented by Dr. Muzammil near the university.

To sum up, the Al-Falah University website was reportedly hacked by the Indian Cyber Alliance after the arrest of a professor who had links with a major explosives haul. The hackers posted a warning against "radical Islamic activities" and advised extremists to move to Pakistan.
