In his e-mail Subramanian has referred to a news posted on Nagpur Today some days ago (http://nagpurtoday.in/nagpur-university-email-address-hackedanonymous-student-claims-in-an-email-to-nagpur-today/) in which the hacker
had claimed to have captured the e-mail id of RSTM Nagpur University Vice Chancellor. The news was later officially confirmed.
The hacker did not only target e-mails but also went on online rampage sending spam mails at the e-mail addresses of other institutions, colleges, schools. These e-mails contain a malicious link that when opened may severely corrupt the user’s computer.
When Subramanian inquired more about him through his facebook account, he told that he has seeped in to various colleges’ system in which vital information was stored. He also has a youtube channel which has various Nagpur colleges sites videos showing how he hacked them. The link for that channel is http://www.youtube.com/teamsaintindia.
In this channel there are various sites including those of YCCE college, SFS college, Sharad Pawar College of Pharmacy, Rehabilitation Center Nagpur, etc.

Subramanian also alerted that the boy must be having some bigger plan now as he has also revealed many credit card and visa numbers that were hacked in Nagpur. Subramanian was of the view that this boy cannot be called as hacker but a cyber criminal in true terms.
He has alerted that if any college or school or any one finds the spam email from Vice Chancellor Nagpur University mind before opening any link.
