HMG (Hindu Militant Guard or Hindu Militant Group) is a group of Indian IT experts who thrives on hacking Pakistani websites and orkut communities. The are lead by a guy aliased ‘Sneak’. The group defends its hacking practices by saying, its revenge against Pakistani hackers who are involved in hacking Indian websites and orkut communities. Their high profile target so far has been the OGRA (Oil & Gas Regularity Authority , Pakistan) website, which they defaced and caused breaking news on tv channels in Pakistan. Apart from that they have hacked a number of orkut communities.
It is believed that the general hacking method they use, specially in orkut is the ‘Fake Orkut Page’. Whereby the community owners are fooled into signing in a fake Orkut login page, which in turns give the username and password to these hackers.
It is a difficult question to ask as to what motivates them or what would stop them from doing such crime, because on the other side Pakistani hacking group like Z Company is doing the same. So its more like both are aggravated by each others atrocities , so the end wont be near.
Websites & Orkut Communities Hacked by HMG:
- OGRA (Pakistani- Oil & Gas Regularity Authority)
- Islamic Republic of Pakistan – Orkut Community
- Dr.Zakir Naik – Orkut Community
- Islam & Muslims – Orkut Community
- Benazir Bhutto - Orkut Community
