In an exclusive conversation with HolaKo, HackRead was told that reason for targeting Rediff was to deliver a message about Israeli occupation of Palestinianland.
The deface message was left in following words: 
HACKED BY HOLAKO, REDIFF MAIL OWNED!? W00T !! WE ARE THE BEST OF THE REST. FREE PALESTINE ! #SAVEGAZA
