As you can see from the image above, it has been hacked by EvilShadow team 7z1&Ancker. From the tiny little flag and blog links, it looks like the hackers are from China.

If you have registered at Microsoft India Store at any point of time, I strongly urge you to change your password right now.
Update: Microsoft Store India is not run by Microsoft. As the site's Terms of Use say, the store is owned and operated by an Indian company named Quasar Media, which has been "appointed by Microsoft to own, maintain and operate the online store." The site is back in the control of its owners. A statement on the site now reads: "The Microsoft Store India is currently unavailable.
