Self-acclaimed hacker exposed spreading fake news about BJP’s website

Of late, it has become the modus operandi of the left-liberal cabal to spread falsehoods about the BJP, the party that the cabal loves to hate. Once a narrative is created, the ecosystem tries spreading it further in order to corner the BJP over such falsehoods. In yet another such attempt by the cabal to corner the BJP, Elliot Anderson, who seems like an anti-BJP, self-acclaimed hacker. He tweeted:

In a desperate bid to corner the Modi government and BJP over this issue, some online trolls and even well known, “eminent” intellectuals started spreading misinformation about this issue. Rupa Subramanya, self-acclaimed economist retweeted Anderson’s tweet and said, “BJP encryption password for their webpage is 123456789. Can’t make this up. #DigitalIndia.” Therefore, she also tried mocking the Digital India initiative of the Modi government in her naive attempt to corner the BJP over this issue. What she doesn’t seem to understand is the fact that encryption key is not the password of any website. This is why such Modi baiters cannot understand the significance of the Digital India initiative. Someone who is digitally illiterate will definitely have issues understanding the significance of the Digital India initiative.

Fact Hunter, a Twitter handle which counters fake news exposed the lies being spread about the BJP stated, “This is not a password. It is encryption key. “oldPassword” is a javascript variable whose value comes from user form and is encrypted with a key 123456789. Effectively you can’t do anything by knowing this unless you are superstar hacker with a lot of luck.” Calling out the lie of the self-acclaimed hacker in another tweet, Fact Hunter stated, “Now tell us from where you took this screenshot. As per your tweet, this screenshot was taken from home.js (https://www.bjp.org/static/js/home.js …). But nothing like that is there in the js file. Did BJP update their website within a day or u faked the screenshot? Hope you will answer.” In another tweet, it was explained, “1/n: Let’s analyse the first screenshot. It is the code of change password method which takes the password from the user form, encrypt it and sends it to the server where it is decrypted again. Now let’s see what you can do if you have the encryption key.”

However, even after it became clear that what the self-acclaimed hacker claimed was a mere hit job, some Twitter users went on to take up this issue further. Meghnad, a Twitter user, went on to state, “Damn. We need to suggest better passwords than 123456789. How about: “MainBhiChowkidaar”? Super meta.” However, he was exposed by another user who said, “ROFL when non techies think that the encryption key is the password. Though the encryption key used is too simple, and lends itself to easy decryption of whatever data BJP wanted to encrypt, this is not the password.”

It is surprising how even a Congress leader fell for the hitjob and tried to mock the BJP over this issue. Vinayak Dalmia, Congress spokesperson, said, “BJP encryption password for their webpage is 123456789. Such an easy go this party is.” It seems that even he couldn’t understand the fact that the encryption key is not the password of the BJP website.

The left-liberal ecosystem has clearly ended up scoring a massive self-goal. Those who do not even seem to have an idea about what encryption means and mistook it to be the password of the party’s website. Those who mock Digital India initiative have come out looking like digital illiterates.
