NEW DELHI, INDIA: Pakistani hackers have targeted the Orkut community of Dr Abdul Kalam.

Prelimanary reports suggest that the hackers whose registration has been traced to Pakistan had renamed Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam community and were now using it launching pad to distribute malicious and objectionable content.

The former president respected Orkut community till date has 207,249 registered members and this attack has seriously compromised the security of the community and its members.

The orkut page of Dr Kalam currently reads "We, the people of India, apologizes to our Pakistani brothers and ISI for barbaric acts of terrorism like Mumbai and Gujarat and many more which were originated and carried out by few citizens of India and supported by government of India. We condemn such acts to fullest."

The message clearly points out new moderators whose origins can be traced to Pakistan.
