Hackers Disrupt IIT-Roorkee Event, MoE Refutes Claims

• I was invited to speak at IIT Roorkee during the Cognizant event on February 1, 2025, via Zoom.
• Just minutes after my speech, a hacker infiltrated the video link and began streaming explicit content.
• We immediately shut down the video and ended the event to prevent further disruption.
• The Ministry of Education refuted my claims, stating there is no IIT in Ranchi and that I was not invited by IIIT Ranchi.
• This incident highlights the critical importance of cyber security and digital safety in academic spaces.
