Bangladeshi Hackers Deface India’s Zee Media

Bangladeshi Hackers Deface India’s Zee Media

On August 21, 2024, the official website of Zee Media Corporation Limited, one of India’s largest and most influential news networks, was defaced by the Bangladeshi hacker group SYSTEMADMINBD. The cyberattack was reportedly carried out in response to what SYSTEMADMINBD deemed as derogatory coverage of the severe flooding in Bangladesh. The group’s defacement of the website included a manipulated screenshot of a Zee TV Bangla article with a headline that, when translated, read: “India left the water! Bangladesh is floating.” Additional mocking comments were displayed, intensifying the controversy.

The timing of the attack is significant, coinciding with ongoing political instability in Bangladesh, including the recent resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina amid violent protests. SYSTEMADMINBD’s action reflects the heightened tensions between the two nations and serves as a form of digital protest against perceived media insensitivity. The defacement underscores the broader geopolitical tensions and highlights how current events can be exploited in cyber warfare.

SYSTEMADMINBD, a hacktivist group known for its cyber activism since April 2023, has previously targeted various high-profile entities, including government websites and business organizations in Bangladesh, India, Israel, and Europe. Their activities range from website defacements to data breaches, marking them as a prominent player in the realm of cyber activism. This latest attack signifies a notable escalation in their tactics, using the defacement of a major media outlet to further their political agenda and draw attention to their grievances.

As of the latest reports, the Zee Media website remains defaced, with SYSTEMADMINBD’s message still visible to visitors. The situation highlights the growing convergence of cyber activism with geopolitical conflicts and media relations. SYSTEMADMINBD’s actions serve as a reminder of the powerful impact that cyber operations can have on international relations and public perception, especially when linked to sensitive and high-profile issues.
