Gaana, the most popular Indian mobile app and portal for online music streaming owned by the country’s one of the biggest internet companies, Times Internet, has been hacked by a Pakistani hacker named Mak Man from Lahore. The CEO of Times Internet, Satyan Gajwani, confirmed the hack but claimed that the data of most of the website’s users had not been compromised.

Interestingly, the CEO and the hacker even communicated through their Facebook profiles regarding the hack. Apparently, the hacker has been warning the website’s technical head of the impending security threats on the site but his warnings were never taken seriously, leading him to finally hack the website’s database to highlight the vulnerability. He even published a photograph explaining the details of his ‘experiment’ with the service’s admin panel on his Facebook profile.

Upon the interaction with Satyan, the Mak Man deleted the details of the hacking, which was believed to be a SQL injection based hack. Gaana has more than 12.5 million users subscribed and the admin is currently resettling all the user details before the site goes online again after clearing all the security glitches.

The incident once again raises concern over online security that has become a biggest threat in the times with majority of a person’s personal and important details enlisted on various apps and websites.
