And yes this time the target was Snapdeal. Snapdeal's official Blog page was being hacked. And as the message clearly says its being hacked by a Pakistani Hackers Group named 'Pakistan Haxors Crew'.
What more, The About us section was also hacked and defaced with a message like this "Payback to Indian". Woooah...It clearly shows that the defacement of the website was a sign of revenge and payback.
The defaced page was thereafter quickly removed by the Snapdeal Team, and there was a message of the "the site is down for maintenance" on the blog section of the website, which now when seen redirects you to the products page of the website whenever you click the blog hyperlink : http://www.snapdeal.com/products/sports-hobbies
