Posted by Sahil Malhan On February - 7 - 2010

The Official website of TataConsultancy Services Limited, TCS.com was hacked yesterday by some Foreign Hacker. Looks like, the website administrators are still unable to re-claim their website. Or, they are still searching for the cause of hacking?

TCS is the largest provider of IT and Business process outsourcing services in India. It produces softwares and security systems and this incident will be an eye opener for India’s biggest IT company’s web security measures!

The website homepage has something written in french, along with an Email address, which might be of the hacker. The hacker may be from france, as it appears to be, after reading the french language written on the homepage.

Here is a Screenshot of the Homepage.-

    Yes, they could have. Re-claim happened the same day, according to a blogpost by a TCS employee on his blogspot blog. But, no official report yet.
