New Delhi:
The government has decided to incorporate new features in the National Security Guards Website to make it more secure.
"The present website (of NSG) is being revamped with the help of NIC to make it more useful and more secure following government guidelines on the subject," a Home Ministry statement said.
The ministry also denied reports that the portal of country's elite commando force was hacked.
"Reports in a section of the media state that the NSG website has been hacked and some information on it has been stolen etc. There is no indication that NSG website has been hacked," it said.
The NSG website does not contain any sensitive data.
It is, in fact, meant for public use containing information of general nature that might be useful to the general public, the statement said.
"The process of revamping is going on for past few months as a matter of administrative routine. It is not in any way connected with any suspected hacking, etc," the Home Ministry said.
"What is suspected to be an attempt of hacking and which could be a result of some malware inadvertently downloaded from the Internet, relates to one particular stand-alone computer which is not on any NSG/government network. This computer is being examined utilising services of cyber experts.
"As a matter of abundant caution, instructions have been issued to disconnect all such stand-alone computers from the Internet and install reliable security software on any such computer that is proposed to be used to access the Internet," it said.
