IIM-B website suffers dysfunction

NEW DELHI: The website of the Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore has been hijacked by hackers peddling erectile dysfunction products like Viagra. The website, www.iimb.ernet.in, has been out of service for at least ten days. Cached versions of its home page during the period show the IIM masthead is superceded by ads for purchasing Viagra online without prescriptions.

All links such as those about the B-school's faculty, programmes, et al have also been renamed with headers about Viagra and Cialis.

But IIM-B’s microsites like the Centre for Corporate Governance & Citizenship are unaffected. “We hope to fix the problem within 2-3 days and have lodged a complaint against the vendor,” an official said.
