When Ankit Fadia's Website was hacked twice in a month.

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. This was the second time in 2012 that Fadia's website got hacked
The message reads:
“PAWNED

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.
This was not the first time that Ankit Fadia’s website got hacked. In January 2012, his official website got hit by a hacker group that identified itself as Team Grey Hat. The hackers seemed 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 mentioned 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.
Ankit Fadia has appeared on several TV shows as a host offering technology and security advice to his viewers. He has also authored books on Internet security and ethical hacking. He’s also known to offer talks and speak in seminars on security related topics. There have also been reports that books written by Ankit Fadia contain plagiarised content.
The current hackers have posted a link on Fadia’s defaced website that claim that the ethical hacker is a charlatan and has plagiarised content for his books. The link posted alleges, “Fadia has spent his entire career talking about hacking and security, but has not performed penetration testing, has not secured networks, and only offered pedestrian “hacking” training re-branded as a certification bearing his own name.”
Ankit Fadia got his first book published when he was fifteen years old, which made him the youngest author to have a book published by publishers MacMillan India. Fadia has also sponsored the Singapore Management University’s 'Ankit Fadia Study Award', which has a $1,000 cash prize, along with a certificate. The award is awarded annually to “an outstanding student” in the Information Security and Trust Course under the Bachelor of Science (Information System Management) degree.
So, My point here is that no, you can't be perfect, you are not God.
But yes you should always keep trying and never try show off what you have learned from others and not earned yourself or else you could be trolled just like Fadia... LOL
