Indian intelligence agency

Even if they will have a website it will become a point of interest for the hackers.

Those are the things they have to deal with

USA is much more hi-tech than India

- can be used for the public for direct contact (instead of routing via police etc)

honestly mate, you actually don't have much idea about what you are talking. You completely fail to understand the purpose of R&AW and don't even know the kind of stuff they do. Having a pretty fancy and face on ze interwebs makes no difference to me/them.

You can easily contact Police and CBI if you have something important to say.

-- they are not meant for handling any public issues so that we can contact them directly , we have plenty of others doing that

--- they are not all recruit directly from public , they are selecting from toppers of IPS ,NDA,CDS and other expeirnced proffesionals

--- same as above

--- they are supposed to get the intellegince and stop the terrorist activities not users need to inform them abt any terror news

Nicely explained.

Thanks for pointing out my mistake and explanation dude... But, anyhow, its 2011 !!!! .. Such a great organization without a website makes me feel a little weired.

If any body have any problem then we have Police or CBI officials to contact. But RAW is a undercover agency and it works in the country's interest not every individual's interest. Even if they will have a website it will become a point of interest for the hackers.

Yes. And there are many people who help in this by reporting the vulnerabilities if the find any.

I personally did that. Few months back I found 2 vulnerabilities on Mumbai police website by which I could hack the site. I went to Mumbai Police Commissioner office (IT dept) and met the site developers. Told them what is the vulnerability and suggested how to patch them.
They listened to me, patched it and then called me and asked to check the site again. I checked and they had patched the holes.

Some days later I received an appreciation email from Mumbai Police Commission office.

till it does its job efficiently, i don't know what to complain about. also maybe they don't want direct communication from public, so no website. if you want to contact them, you may do it indirectly via Police/CBI.

USA is much more hi-tech than India.

Hi-tech 10 inch probing stick with thermal/nuclear sensors and a high def camera for A-holes LMAOROFLHAHAHAHAH!!!

BTW, before that, I got root access to one of the ISRO's database containing all the details about scientist and professors attending a conference. And one CDAC server which I could pwn! Sadly, at that time I was either too lazy or too busy to report.

But, after Mumbai Police story, when I reported the vulnerabilities on the website of India's one of the top 5 IT companies, I got appreciated from them as well.

Another coin of this story is, some admins still don't care. For example, NBCU's one of the websites has data of almost 100K customers zipped, all their code test cases and results, etc. Even after contacting them many times, I got no reply.
BBC's forum's application server's web admin console was wide open for anybody to shut down / restart / undeploy the server. I send a report to them. They did remove the admin console, but never replied back.

But no matter if I get reply or not, I continue to report vulnerabilities and try to be a good citizen / netizen.

The moral of the post, there are people who are willing to help you keep your things safe.

Ontopic:
I agree with many of the members view here. If they really don't have anything to share to the public, they really don't need a website.
