Pakistani Hackers Attack Indian Defence Websites: Cyber groups associated with Pakistan have carried out cyber attacks on many military websites in India. After this incident, many websites have been made offline as a precaution so that the damage can be investigated. The tension between India and Pakistan once again seems to be increasing. After the Pahalgam massacre, now a cyber group associated with Pakistan has targeted the websites of India’s defense institutions. However, later the claim of Pakistani hacker turned out to be wrong. According to senior sources in MP IDSA, the claim is incorrect. No data has been stolen. Nothing is sensitive data on the website.
A group that has described itself as “Pakistan Cyber Force” has claimed on the social media platform X (first Twitter) that they have hacked the websites of the Indian Military Engineering Service (MES) and Manohar Parrikar Institute of Defense Studies and Analysis (MP-Aids). After this cyber attack, Indian officials have offered some websites as a precaution.

According to sources, the defense officers may be compromised on sensitive data like login details and personal information in the attack. Apart from this, an attempt was also made to defase the website of ‘Armard Vehicle Corporation Limited’, a public sector company under the Ministry of Defense. He was spoiled by putting a picture of Pakistani flag and Al Khalid tank on the website.
After this incident, Indian cyber agencies have become fully alert and all defense -related websites and systems are being examined. The government has started taking necessary steps to further strengthen cyber security so that such attacks can be avoided in future. This cyber attack has taken place at a time when Indo-Pak relations are going through a very stressful phase. In such a situation, this attack is being considered as another conspiracy of Pakistan on the digital front.
Tension in relationships after Pahalgam massacre
Significantly, after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the tension between India and Pakistan has once again reached the peak. There is resentment in the whole country due to the lives of innocent citizens in this attack, while investigating agencies have indicated the role of Pakistan -backed terrorist organizations. In such a situation, India has made it clear that it will not tolerate such incidents. Relationships between the two countries were already critical, but this massacre has further spoiled the situation. Now security has been increased on the border and strict steps are being taken at the diplomatic level as well.
