Telangana High Court faced a serious security breach on Friday when cybercriminals took control of its official website. The attack prevented people from downloading important court documents and legal papers.
During the hack, visitors to the court’s website saw a gambling website instead of the official portal. This unauthorized content remained visible for several minutes before officials could regain control.
The High Court Registrar immediately reported the incident to local authorities. Hyderabad Police have now opened a formal investigation into the cyberattack.
The breach disrupted normal court operations as lawyers and citizens rely on the website to access court orders and other legal documents. Officials worked quickly to restore the site’s normal functions.
Police investigators are now working to identify the hackers responsible for the attack. The incident highlights growing concerns about cybersecurity threats targeting government websites in Telangana.
Court officials have not yet announced when all website services will return to full operation. The investigation continues as authorities try to prevent similar attacks in the future.
