The official website of Jamia Millia Islamia University, which was hacked late Monday night, was restored on Tuesday morning, a university official said.
The landing page of the varsity’s official website http://jmi.ac.in greeted the visitors by a personalised birthday wish, “Happy Birthday Pooja. Your love.”
On Tuesday, the university condemned the hackers and said it would be taking the issue seriously.

“It is unfortunate that someone does such pranks to send personalised messages. We would be taking this issue seriously. There would be a meeting and we will decide future course of action,” JMI media coordinator Saima Saeed told PTI.
She said the varsity received information about the hacking between Monday midnight and 1 am, Tuesday.
“Our first response was to restore it and we managed to do it in six hours,” she added.
No individual or group has claimed responsibility for the hacking.
In the past, websites of many educational institutions were hacked. These include IITs of Delhi, Madras, Bombay and Kharagpur, Delhi University and Aligarh Muslim University.
