KOCHI: The portal of popular reality show ‘Idea Star Singer’ telecast on Asianet has been hacked.

According to a complaint filed about one month ago, the portal of `Idea Star Singer’ has been hacked by someone.

The Police High-tech Cell has sought assistance from C-DAC for analysing the login details of the portals. “We have been inspecting the login details from various IP addresses into this website. We have found that the portal has been logged in more than 2,000 times. The details of login by the administrators, including the time of login and the duration, are available with us. Hence now we have to find out the details of others who logged in on the portal,” high-tech cell sources said.

The investigation team has found out that the password of the portal has been hacked.

Investigation is on to find out the hackers who gained access to the portal. Sources said that the issue began with an e-mail message that received by the portal saying that ‘site is not secure’.
