In a latest development, it appears that PTCL website was hacked today – not defaced though. Hacker has left a polite and soft message for the management by advising it to secure the official website.
Hacker, who didn’t reveal identity, opted not to deface the whole website instead he published a message in the menu available on the PTCL website.
A message pasted on its right column says:
When it will be secure:
Please do secure it. Close registration and change your IT team. Thanks.
