Not only did the hacker add the term ‘BEEF’ to website sections, but he also replaced the pages of the website with images and recipes of beef dishes. Even the homepage came with a hunky serving of meatloaf, with 'LEADERSHIP' giving way to ‘BEEF LEADERSHIP’.
Hovering the cursor over 'BEEF ITEMS' (in the place of the original 'DELHI TEAM') opened a dropdown menu with a list of six different beef dishes. Clicking on one of them led to a different page with the list of ingredients and detailed recipes, along with a message: Hacked by SHADOW_V1P3R. The website has been restored now.
