The hacking took place when the Cabinet secretaries of eight SAARC countries are in Dhaka to attend a two-day meeting.

The hackers identified themselves as ‘Black Dragon (Indian Hackers Online Squad)’ in a message left on the website (https://cabinet.gov.bd/).
The message read: "LOVE TO ALL INDIAN HACKERS OUT THERE."
"It’s a Warning to Bangladeshi Hackers, Stop Defacing Indian sites. We Don't Have a Fight with you But if you Don't stop then get ready for #OP Bangladesh," it said addressing hackers from Bangladesh.
