Website of Indian Oil Corp, the nation's largest company, was today hacked purportedly by a Turkish hacking group but the firm restored it after sometime.

IOC's website www.Iocl.Com was this evening hacked with its front page defaced with a message from TurkGuvenligi which claimed the site was "HACKED".

It said, "hacking is not a crime".

TurkGuvenligi, according to its twitter account, is a hacking group focused on network systems.

IOC quickly restored the website. "The site was down for a brief while. We have been able to resolve issues and it is up and running now," a company official said.
 

The site was down for just over an hour.
