Pakistani hackers claim to have breached many Indian defence sites – ET CISO

Cyber-attacks emanating from Pakistan have further increased, with the website of an Indian defence PSU being defaced while Pakistani hackers also claiming to have gained access to “sensitive” data from the Indian Military Engineering Services (MES) and think-tank Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA).

The hacker group called “Pakistan Cyber Force” has allegedly compromised personal information of defence personnel in MES and MP-IDSA, including their login credentials.

“In addition to this data breach, the hacker group also defaced the official website of defence PSU Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited (AVNL) with images of the Pakistan flag and the Al Khalid tank,” a source said on Monday.

As a precautionary measure, the AVNL website has been taken offline for “a thorough and deliberate audit” to assess the extent of any potential damage and its integrity. “Cybersecurity experts and agencies are actively working to detect any additional cyberattacks by actors linked to Pakistan. This ongoing surveillance aims to quickly identify and mitigate any future risks posed by these cyber attackers,” he said.

Overall, appropriate and necessary measures are being taken to bolster security infrastructure, strengthen digital defences, and safeguard against further intrusion attempts. “These efforts are focused on enhancing the resilience of online platforms and ensuring that forces are better prepared to defend against future cyber threats,” he added.

Soon after the Pahalgam terror massacre, Pakistan-based cyber actors had also tried to deface pages and harvest personal information from some welfare and educational websites of the Indian armed forces, but prompt restorative action was taken to isolate and thwart the attempts, as earlier reported by TOI.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
