X shows hacking claim regarding Indian Defense Websites: Now in Observation

A post by the account “Pakistan Cyber Force” claims to have collected login credentials and other personal information linked to defense personnel.

The Pahalgam Attack’s fire has not dimmed yet; Pakistan is still trying to probe into India’s Defence Website to steal confidential data to make India more vulnerable to protecting itself against further attacks.

However, India has now ensured that Pakistan will be on the ground in no time. Time flies like air, and Pakistan will be observing how devastated it will be sooner than it can expect. Following the terrorist assault in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, which claimed the lives of at least 25 tourists and one local resident, tensions between India and Pakistan have increased.

Officials

Cybersecurity experts and security agencies are monitoring cyberspace after a handle on X claimed to have accessed sensitive data from the Indian Military Engineering Service and the Manohar Parrikar Institute of Defence Studies and Analysis, officials said.

The monitoring follows a post by the account ‘Pakistan Cyber Force’, which claimed to have obtained personal information related to defence personnel, including login credentials, the officials said.

“As a precautionary measure, the website of Armoured Vehicle Nigam Limited has been taken offline for a thorough and deliberate audit to assess the extent of any potential damage caused by the defacement attempt and to ensure the integrity of the website,” the officials said.

They said the group also attempted to deface the website of Armoured Vehicle Nigam Limited, a PSU under the Ministry of Defence, by using the Pakistan flag and the ‘Al Khalid’ tank.

“Furthermore, cybersecurity experts and agencies are actively monitoring cyberspace to detect any additional cyberattacks, particularly those that may be sponsored by threat actors linked to Pakistan,” the officials added.

The surveillance is aimed at identifying and mitigating any future threats, they said.

“In response to the situation, appropriate and necessary measures are being taken to bolster the security infrastructure, strengthen digital defences and safeguard against further intrusion attempts,” the officials said, adding that the efforts are focused on enhancing the resilience of online platforms and ensuring preparedness against future cyber threats.
