New Delhi/Noida: The website of a reputed private school in Noida was purportedly hacked last night by a group that identified itself as 'Muslim hackers from Bangladesh'. The national flag of Bangladesh and a message saying, "When liberty is at risk, expect us" were displayed on the homepage of the website.
