Torrid Networks warns the Indian government about loopholes in the security of many key websites
December 15, 2010It’s battle royal in the cyber world. Indian and Pakistani hackers have defaced more than a 1000 websites in each other’s country in the past few days. Many of these are critical government sites.
MiD DAY had earlier reported how the Indian Cyber Army (ICA), powered by indishell.in, carried out a mass defacement operation on key Pakistani websites “to pay homage to the martyrs of the terror attacks” on the anniversary of 26/11.
A Pakistani hackers group, named PCA (Pakistan Cyber Army), responded by defacing around 270 Indian websites including that of CBI.
ICA also compromised the website belonging to Hizbul Mujahideen (http://hizbmedia.net/), which could have been very useful for the Indian government. While speaking to MiD DAY, Dhruv Soi, Director of Torrid Networks said “It is just one of the examples on how the government could utilize the cyber space to strengthen national security.
Such attacks, if executed properly, could produce a lot of information about such terror outfits and can also help in busting their network in the country,” he added.
