Indian hackers deface Pakistani websites

<p> The ongoing cyber war between India and Pakistan is the latest in the series of such online battles between the two neighbouring countries. GCSRT sources said the dispute between the two countries over Kashmir had spilled into cyber space with each country’s hackers repeatedly targeting the other country’s computing database.</p> <p>Indian hackers defaced homepages of nearly hundred Pakistani websites on Wednesday, apparently in retaliation to the defacement of more than 2000 Indian websites by Pakistani hackers on Republic day.</p> <p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhauTFDGtAMZ19w2c8hkLrpjTM0iCrK6d0Mj6h_1LmFVrW1Ic3UjXQ9ooycLSCywwKid_lsh2ibAGmTaD1dIbfRVSpBqiit1Q2pHB5wTCkZxLOaXIZQEOp0fEWbQkTljuXue7gn0S66tYY/s1600/ICR-705483.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhauTFDGtAMZ19w2c8hkLrpjTM0iCrK6d0Mj6h_1LmFVrW1Ic3UjXQ9ooycLSCywwKid_lsh2ibAGmTaD1dIbfRVSpBqiit1Q2pHB5wTCkZxLOaXIZQEOp0fEWbQkTljuXue7gn0S66tYY/s320/ICR-705483.JPG"/></a></p> <p>The cyber retaliation by the hacker group ‘Indian Cyber Rakshak” may continue for some more time and more Pakistani sites could be targeted, feel cyber security experts based in Bangalore.</p> <p>Indian hackers had obviously managed to penetrate the servers and hosted messages “Hacked by Indian Cyber Rakshak”. The defaced home pages continued to host the message till evening.</p> <p>Sources in Bangalore-based Global Cyber Security Response Team (GCSRT) said the retaliatory defacements of Pakistani websites began on Tuesday night. “Close to a hundred websites had been hacked so far”, sources said.</p> <p>On Republic Day, Pakistani hackers defaced 2,118 Indian websites including those of Central Bank of India and model-turned actress Poonam Pandey. Ms Pandey’s website, which was hacked by a group identifying itself as “Team Madleets”, displayed the messages like “Pakistan Zindabad,” besides “your site security is compromised” and “Patch your site” even on Wednesday afternoon, while the website of Central Bank of India has, however been restored.</p> <p>Sources in Central Bank of India said the website was restored within minutes of it being hacked two days ago. Now, the users have to use the website through https://www.centralbankofindia.co.in</p> <p>Though the home page of Indian Railways was not affected, sources in GCSRT said the hackers had managed to upload an index.html in a subdirectory or internal link (" http://er.indianrailways.gov.in/cris/edrm_site/notice/index.html")</p> <p>Cyber security experts in Bangalore said most of the Indian websites had been defaced by Pakistani hackers going with the handle “StrikerRude”, “KashmirCyberArmy”, “PakCyber Expert”, “HUnter Gujar” and the Operation was named as “#OP26jan”.</p> <p>The GCSRT member said Republic Day’s hacking of a total of 2,118 websites comes two weeks after 1,400 Indian websites were hacked. A majority of the hacked websites were still being restored, he added.</p> <p>However, officials in National Informatics Centre (NIC), Bangalore, said they have not received any information of Government websites hosted and managed by them in Karnataka being affected.</p>

The first image of its upcoming flagship model - codenamed Sirius - has surfaced on the internet, along with leaked specifications.</p> <p>The leak comes courtesy Chinese website Digi-wo, where a user has posted the image of the back panel of the Xperia Z2 sourced from Sony's R&D department. The image suggests that the manufacturer is doing away with the glass back panel that its top models have sported since early 2013 and will instead use a carbon fibre or metallic body.</p> <p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ1kgG34j3QmU4DrU7MYoj_brwppz4CGVulItDZ1WKypHtGVD_U5pzC7I3B7OUsCPCzyTTFVcfGAJk5lr9kQZl8MZ-fXQ9YnsQ70wrJOamZ8gUdkMqJBjq_aBzKiafBbOi8u6GwqYb0ZY/s1600/28999755-716158.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ1kgG34j3QmU4DrU7MYoj_brwppz4CGVulItDZ1WKypHtGVD_U5pzC7I3B7OUsCPCzyTTFVcfGAJk5lr9kQZl8MZ-fXQ9YnsQ70wrJOamZ8gUdkMqJBjq_aBzKiafBbOi8u6GwqYb0ZY/s320/28999755-716158.jpg"/></a></p> <p>In terms of hardware specifications, the Xperia Z2 is said to have a 5.3-inch display and 23MP rear camera.

Nvidia Tegra K1 More Powerful Than PS3, 360

<p>NVIDIA is getting ready to launch its first Tegra processor based on the same Kepler architecture as its PC gaming graphics hardware. Up until now we’ve been calling that next-gen chip the Tegra 5, but NVIDIA says it’s such an evolutionary leap from earlier Tegra chips that it deserves as new name.</p> <p>Enter the <a href="http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/Releases/NVIDIA-Unveils-Tegra-K1-a-192-Core-Super-Chip-That-Brings-DNA-of-World-s-Fastest-GPU-to-Mobile-a8a.aspx">NVIDIA Tegra K1</a>, a chip that the company calls a 192 core processor. Although we’re talking about a mix of CPU and GPU cores, that’s still far more processor cores than you’ll find in any other mobile chip.</p> <p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioWWGjU4Dpnc_3tTraGTijbcMbs1hKVysr-QBoS5M01Yb2_coi-IAUVSyf1kMfd9zYqPbxDigAy5Sil0FLEQL7xV5B5mZl9tpUKtFQKwUD2br-xOlP4XghpX0aAA5QPI5UlO4UTK7hZwk/s1600/n-NVIDIA-large-700752.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5965773577539984130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioWWGjU4Dpnc_3tTraGTijbcMbs1hKVysr-QBoS5M01Yb2_coi-IAUVSyf1kMfd9zYqPbxDigAy5Sil0FLEQL7xV5B5mZl9tpUKtFQKwUD2br-xOlP4XghpX0aAA5QPI5UlO4UTK7hZwk/s320/n-NVIDIA-large-700752.jpg" /></a></p> <p>Does that matter? It might — NVIDIA says the Tegra K1 brings PC-level graphics to mobile devices, and Epic Games is bringing its Unreal Engine 4 game platform to the Tegra K1 chip.</p> <p>The chip also supports NVIDIA’s CUDA parallel processing technology, which means the GPU cores can be leveraged to perform duties normally handled by a CPU core… assuming app developers write software that uses that capability.</p> <p>NVIDIA says the chip is more powerful than the processors in the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360, and supports DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.4 capabilities. It also uses just 5W of power, compared with 100W for the chips in those last-gen game consoles.</p> <p>There will be two versions of the Tegra K1 chip. The first will be based on a 32-bit ARM Cortex-A15 CPU, much like the Tegra 4 chips available today. The second is based on next-gen ARMv8 architecture. It’s a dual-core chip based on NVIDIA’s new Denver 64-bit CPU architecture.</p> <p>The 32 bit version runs at up to 2.3 GHz and is based on 3-way superscalar architecture , while the 64-bit model is a 7-way superscalar chip that supports clock speeds up to 2.5 GHz.</p> <p>NVIDIA is also making a play for the in-vehicle computing space, with an automotive version of the K1 chip designed to help with assistive driving systems, doing things like helping to identify obstacles on the road, the distance between your vehicle and the ones ahead of it, and more.</p>
