New Delhi: Hackers Anonymous on Thursday hacked the Supreme Court of India (supremecourtofindia.nic.in) and the All India Congress (aicc.org.in) websites. According to a report on thednetworks.com, Anonymous cited internet censorship as the reason for hacking the two Indian websites.

This comes after torrent sites like The Pirate Bay and Vimeo have been blocked by most of the Indian Internet Service Providers (ISP) on government request.

ISPs like BSNL, MTNL, Airtel and others have all blocked the sites, reportedly in response to an order from the Department of Telecom (DoT).
