Government's e-procurement software hacked, Rs 1.5 crore siphoned off
By MYBRANDBOOK
It is true that hackers used to hack government websites either to steal classified information or to spread terror network, have now targeted the government treasury. The e-procurement software of the government was looted of seven crore rupees during the first week of August this year, it is gathered. However, luckily the officials noticed it in time and succeeded in saving a considerable amount. However, as per an estimate Rs 1.5 crore has been siphoned off from the treasury in the Karnataka Government in India.
The real figure will be revealed after the investigation by the cyber crime officials start their mission to identify the threat. The hackers who succeeded in penetrating the e-procurement software modified the account numbers provided by the bidders when participating in the tender. The fact that these account numbers were altered did not come to the notice of the concerned. The bidders too remained quiet, waiting for the reimbursement to come, unaware of the fact that the money has gone to some other account and withdrawn. Because of this hacking, many projects of BBMP have been blocked now.
