MTV India's Orkut Community Hacked
MTV India's orkut community was hacked a few minutes back and almost all the posts in the forum were deleted.
But here is what community owner MTV Webmaster had to say
"@ All - Blame it on the Orkut bug!
Do not panic, guys... It is just an Orkut bug. The threads will be back tomorrow. The Orkut guys are trying to sort this as we speak. Till then, take it easy!"
What happened here is that, one of the moderators, Amit Sharma's profile got hacked by someone called as H.O.H and started deleting all the posts in the forum
This was what he called "raping" of the community.
Meanwhile, all the moderators from the community have been removed for the time being.
It is important to note, that the Orkut Community of MTV is an important online extension of the MTV India Channel with about 2,60,000+ members.
And has held competetions such as RBG (Roadies Battle Ground) in the past.
Somedays back, even India's Former President Mr. Abdul Kalam's Community on orkut had also been hacked and had later been restored.

Protestors Burn Nokia Phones in Jabalpur
The current tension between the nation and our neighbor Pakistan hit a new chord as per the reports. Nokia in their latest version of Nokia Maps 2.0 apparently shows the state of Kashmir as being part of Pakistan's territory, and obviously this is not something any vote seeking Indian politician would take lightly.
A group of BJP members raided and set fire to a bunch of mobiles from a Nokia Dealer in the city of Jabalpur. According to a few of the organizers, the incident was a form of protest. The misrepresentation in the application and maps was considered to be 'a case of anti-nationalism'.
