Kathmandu, March 23
Police have nabbed an 18-year-old, who allegedly hacked a number of websites of government establishments.
A team from the Nepal Police’s Crime Division nabbed Bikas Poudel of Bandipur, Tanahun, who was living at Balaju Heights. Operating in the name of Anonymous #Opnep, Poudel had hacked the website of National Tuberculosis Centre.
Using this name, Poudel used to hack government offices’ and institutions’ websites, a police probe has revealed. Some days ago, sections of the media had reported that the same user had hacked Nepal Telecom website and stolen data.
