Delhi traffic police website under scrutiny amid allegations of data breach

The Delhi Police have launched an investigation into potential breaches of the traffic police website following claims by a hacker group known as ’KillSec.’ The group has asserted on its Telegram channel that it has successfully gained unauthorized access to the website.

According to police statements, ’KillSec’ alleges access to the site and the ability to manipulate pending challan statuses to "paid." It’s reported that the hacker group offered individuals the opportunity to alter their pending challan statuses by providing specific details, including ticket reference numbers.

Furthermore, ’KillSec’ claimed in a subsequent message to have breached the Delhi Police website, purportedly exporting all available data except images.

The traffic police website, managed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), is now under scrutiny, with the NIC being informed of the situation. However, authorities caution that the extent of the breach and the veracity of the claims are yet to be confirmed, emphasizing that investigations are ongoing.
