The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) leaked more than 2 million email addresses; revenge on Anonymous India
The official website of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) was hacked in a few hours after it had exposed more than 1 million email addresses of users who spoke in support of network neutrality.
A group of hackers called AnonOpsIndia claimed responsibility for a DDoS attack on the TRAI official website and its hacking. A few hours ago, from the AnonOpsIndia twitter account, there was a message about blocking the trai.gov.in site through a DDoS attack.
More than a month ago, the Directorate (TRAI) published a consultation document with 20 questions for citizens of India to collect their opinion on net neutrality. Responses were expected via email (email) until April 24th.
Management (TRAI) planned to allow telecom operators, such as Vodafone and Airtel, to block certain websites and applications in order to collect more money from both business and ordinary users, which is nothing more than a gross violation of network neutrality .

However, when every Internet user joined the SaveTheInternet campaign in support of network neutrality ...
... from the TRAI website there was a leak of the email addresses of all users who have already managed to send their response to the TRAI request for net neutrality, which is a jackpot for both spammers and hackers.
In a series of tweets, a group of hackers explained that their motive is the struggle for Internet freedom in India.
Here are some of these tweets:
The leak occurred just a few hours after TRAI revealed the names and email addresses of more than 1 million users who sent their answers to a network neutrality question, making all respondents' addresses potentially available to spammers.
In the meantime, TRAI officials denied hacking and claim that the TRAI official website has stopped working due to some “technical issues”.

Hosting is down all over the terminal. Thank! Boom Boom #TRAI trai.gov.in Fuck you, TRAI!
Haha, what good is TRAI if they can't manage their own fucking servers. Useless.
We're just a bunch of kids who troll the brilliant minds of #TRAI, who have no idea what to do in this situation. Sorry, India, you deserve more.
