The website TCS.com which belongs to India’s largest software vendor, Tata Consultancy Services, was hacked today by a French hacker. This hack will definitely lead to total embarrassment for the software firm who thrives on creating software and security systems day in and day out.

If you visit TCS.com right now you will be greeted with a screen which looks similar to the screenshot below.

However, TCS is not the only high profile site to be hacked, in recent times the Orkut Brazil blog was hacked ^[1] along with the high profile TechCrunch being hacked ^[2] as well. Just goes on to show that hackers could easily get into your system if you do not use secured software.

As a word of advice, I would like to ask users to keep their web software up-to-date, no matter if it is a pain to do, because you could be the next in line to get hacked for using software which has vulnerabilities.

Update: The TCS.com hack looks like a DNS job and not a web software hack. Twitter ^[3] was also recently hacked using a DNS loophole ^[4].

Update: The hacker may not be from France, however, the language used by the hacker is French. I have updated the post to reflect the same.
