KOLKATA: A webpage on the official Trinamool Congress website - https:// aitmc.org/chairperson_archived.php - which records important announcements by chief minister Mamata Banerjee was hacked and made to look like the CM had apologised to Maoists.

Trinamool's cyber team removed the offensive post within minutes. The hackers called themselves the 'Anonymous Group' and left a San Diego forwarding address. The group had earlier defaced the CID webpage and the health department portal.

The Trinamool website was hacked at 7.30 pm and detected within six minutes by the party's cyber team that works round-the-clock , updating the site every 15 minutes, said a Trinamool leader. The post began with "I am a Maoist" and referred to the recent Belpahari incident. Agency reports said that Mamata's 'diary' on the website was redirected to a page on "Anonymous India" on a social networking site.

Trinamool cyber experts took screen shots of the post, which were used by party state president Subrata Bakshi to lodge a complaint.

Abhishek Banerjee, president of the All India Trinamool Yuva, who looks after the party's cyber intiatives, said: "Trinamool has the strongest cyber presence among all political parties in India. This was a clear attempt to play mischief which was detected immediately and prompt action was taken. Our website has adequate firewalls." The entire website was not defaced, said a leader. "It was a single post inserted by bypassing the website administrator's access," said a cyber team member. The website was restored by 9.30pm.
