BANGALORE, India (Reuters) - Infosys Technologies Ltd. (INFY), one of
India's biggest software companies, said on Monday computer hackers
had infiltrated its Web site and disrupted its banking products site.
"We realized it this afternoon. One section of the Web site, the
banking unit, was hacked," an Infosys spokeswoman told Reuters.

She said the site that was infiltrated contained information about its
software products for the banking industry.

The spokeswoman said the company had taken steps to restore the Web
site and was investigating the cause of the hacking, but it was too
early to comment on the identity of the hackers.

Infosys, which employs about 9,000 software engineers, has its
headquarters in Bangalore, India's technology capital.

Pro-Pakistan hackers have in the past broken into Indian Web sites,
usually with slogans or statements criticizing Indian policies on
Kashmir, the Himalayan zone disputed by Islamabad.
