While no cross-border firing was reported on January 26, hackers from India and Pakistan got into a cyber war, thereby defacing thousands of websites. The warfare turned ugly when a Pakistani hacking group ZCompany Hacking Crew defaced more than 400 Indian websites after declaring India’s 62nd Republic Day as a Black Day for Kashmir.
Experts claim that the volume of such attacks increases on Independence Day and Republic Day. “The message posted by hackers from both countries carry a tone of jingoism and hatred. Now, hackers have started expressing their rage on 7/11 and 26/11 too,” said Dhruv Soi, a cyber crime expert and Director at Torrid Networks to MidDay news.
Meanwhile, cyber crime experts believe that the government should use such skilled resources to work for the nation. “The government should use the hackers the way China does. However, I think we are not yet ready to change the cyber security approach from sleeping mode to aggressive mode,” Soi added.
