"Website belongs to the Director, Primary Education under state Education Department, which uses it to invite applications for 'vidyasahayaks' (teachers). It was hacked by a Pakistan-based hacker group early today morning," said Darji.

"As soon as we learned about it, engineers started maintenance and removed the material within two hours. We have re-launched the website," said Darji, who added that the hackers were found to have simultaneously hacked at least 21 other websites, including two websites of Hyderabad based companies, across India.
