Pakistan Development Institute Website Hacked by Indian Cyber Group
In a recent cybersecurity incident, the website of Pakistan’s Federal Development Institute was hacked by a group believed to be from India. When visitors accessed the site, they saw the phrase “Jay Shri Ram,” which is linked to Hindu nationalism.
The hackers left several messages on the website, including “we are unknown” and “we will not forget.” These messages suggest that the attackers want to keep their identities hidden while also sending a warning. They boldly stated that no amount of cybersecurity would stop them from targeting websites in Pakistan.
The group responsible for the hack warned that they had gained access to the main server and could carry out more attacks in the future. They demanded an end to what they see as interference in Indian cyberspace, threatening to continue their attacks if their demands are not met.
This incident shows the continuing tensions in the online world between India and Pakistan, mirroring the larger political conflicts between the two countries. It highlights how government websites can be vulnerable to attacks and how cyber attacks can be used to express political opinions.
Earlier this year, in June, a group of hackers from Pakistan reportedly targeted the Indian government. They used a type of malware called DISGOMOJI, which is designed to attack Linux-based systems. This malware is written in the Go programming language, making it particularly effective against certain targets.
BlackBerry, a well-known cybersecurity company, has identified DISGOMOJI as a complex tool used for spying. This tool was found during an examination of infrastructure related to a major attack campaign. The attacks are linked to a hacking group called Transparent Tribe, which is believed to have ties to Pakistan.
