On 30 October some suspicious activity was noticed on the National Informatics Centre (NIC) server, which hosts the website operated by the Recruitment and Assessment Centre (RAC), the DRDO arm responsible for carrying out recruitment of scientists for DRDO. As a precautionary measure, NIC temporarily blocked access to the server. The RAC website was restored on 30 October by NIC and is now fully functional. The main public website of DRDO (drdo.gov.in) was not affected in any manner.
