The official website of the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Haryana, was allegedly hacked and a message posted on it saying it was done by terrorist organisation ISIS.

SCERT director Sneh Lata told The Hindu that the department got to know about the hacking on Sunday afternoon. “We got to know about the hacking when ISIS flag was noticed with ‘Hacked by Islamic State (ISIS), We Are Everywhere :)’ written on website’s homepage,” said Ms. Lata.
