The government handled Union Public Service Commission website was hacked late on Monday, September 10. The homepage of the website displayed the image of a cartoon character – Doraemon – along with the header caption, “Doraemon!!!! Pick up the call”, and footer caption “I.M. STEWPEED”, while the title track of the cartoon played in the background.
Incidentally, the hack came on the day the UPSC Recruitment 2018 process began on the online services web portal of the (UPSC).
The incident came to light when screenshots of UPSC website’s homepage displaying cartoon character Doraemon started doing the rounds on Twitter.
