Ankit Fadia is known as one of India’s first 'ethical hackers'. He has been 
recognised by a number of software companies, and has written many books about 
computer and internet security. Now, in a twist of fate, his website has been 
hacked and defaced yet again. The hackers have left a message for Fadia on his 
website.

The message reads:
“PAWNED

profession to farming ?
[!] India's "so called" Number 1 Ethical Hacker Hacked? ;)

According to the hackers, they have done nothing illegal and have just 
responded to the challenge that Ankit Fadia had put forth. Fadia had earlier 
challenged anyone to hack his website. Fadia's challenge is in this video and 
is issued at the 1:91 mark.

This is not the first time that Ankit Fadia’s website has been hacked. In 
January this year, his official website got hit by a hacker group that 
identified itself as Team Grey Hat. The hackers seem to have got access to the 
files on his server. A pastebin dump had been setup that shows screenshots of 
the files.

The note by the hacker group rubbishes Ankit Fadia as a hacker and his courses 
in hacking. The pastebin dump also mentions the database details, including the 
username and password used. The Hacker News claims that the site was also 
hacked by Himanshu Sharma, a hacker well known in the hacking circles since he 
was 17.
