Amid the ongoing diplomatic tussle between India and Canada over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a group of hackers claiming to be Indian Cyber Force temporarily disabled the official website of Canadian army, The Telegraph<\/em>, London, reported on Thursday. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The hackers, who do not have any official connections with India, claimed on messaging app Telegram that they had targeted the Canadian army’s website, www.forces.ca, the report said. <\/p>\n The hackers shared a screenshot of an error page with the message “#f—Canada”, said the report. <\/p>\n The hackers had last week posted a message which said, “Get ready to feel the power of IndianCyberForce will be launching on Canada cyberspace. It is for the mess you started.’ (sic) <\/p>\n The Telegraph<\/em> quoted experts as saying that the cyberattack could be a “distributed denial of service’ assault aimed at sending a message to the Canadian government. <\/p>\n A diplomatic row erupted between India and Canada following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations of “potential” involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, in British Columbia on June 18. <\/p>\n India has rejected the allegations as “absurd” and “motivated” and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move to Ottawa’s expulsion of an Indian official over the case.<\/p>\n
