In addition to the official site of the Indian Army, Anonymous also managed to bring down the entire server of the NIC. The group addressed a letter to the Indian government citing the hack to be an answer to the rising instances of corruption in the country.

 

The letter, addressed to the Indian government reads:

We are Anonymous Again.

To the People of India and Government,

You Have Underestimated the Power of people.You thought First NIC Hack by Anonymous was Playful act, "THINK AGAIN".

We are not here to Play with anyone.We are here to send a Message to all the people who support the Anti-corruption bill. We took Down Indian Army Officail Site and NIC knows more what we did.We do not support anyone, We Support Only The Anti-Corruption Bill.No one can speak for Anonymous, Nothing is Official.

We are Not the "FALME", We are just a "SPARK".Stop Your Brutal Voilence and Blame games.Anonymous are the people.

Additionally, the outfit claims to have access to all data stored on the NIC servers, and has threatened to leak all of it. Anonymous has also posted a video press release addressed to the government criticising the corrupt, and laid-back nature of the Indian government, and has stated their hacks as attempts to better the situation in the country, and ensure the success of the Anti-corruption bill.
