Himachal Pradesh Industries Website Hacked, Fake Donation Page Created

Someone hacked the Himachal Pradesh Department of Industries website.

They put up a fake page that asked people to donate money to the chief minister's relief fund.

The fake page included a QR code that led to a bank account belonging to Purav Maan.

Someone from a company called EY tested the QR code and confirmed it worked.

The government took the website down quickly and made it secure again.

Police are now investigating this case, which involves cheating and identity theft.

The goal of the hackers was to scam people and damage the reputation of the department and state government.
