Pak hackers planning attacks on Indian networks
January 06, 2009 10:00 IST
Anti-India elements in Pakistan are planning to attack Indian computer
networks, intelligence agencies have warned.
Pakistani hackers are trying out a dry run by hacking popular websites
registered there, home ministry sources said on Tuesday.
"Every time the relations between the two countries dampen, Pakistanis start
attacking Indian computer networks and this has increased after the Mumbai
terror attacks" a home ministry source said.
Pakistani hackers have created websites such as the www.songs.pk, which are
infested with software to hack data from the targeted computers, it said.
"The website www.songs.pk has over 12 lakh Indian users who are downloading
stuff from these websites daily," said a cyber expert in the ministry.
With these websites being highly popular, it will take only a few minutes
for the hackers to take command of over 12 lakh computers in few minutes and
the number of such computers can multiply in every minute, sources said.
"Instead of the existing less harmful virus, new ones such as Botnet and
Zoombie can be easily released into the Indian computers, which later on
replicate and make the entire server vulnerable," the expert said.
"Nowadays new virus and worms are detected while downloading songs from
these websites, which could be just a dry run to manage a bigger attack," he
said.
Indian government's websites have proved to be vulnerable in the past.
"Most of the time, these cases are not reported as the server is based in
Pakistan and we cannot do anything in this regard," the expert said.
The anti-virus software, too, cannot work in such situation as the virus
used in such cyber wars are usually new and the anti-virus software cannot
identity and detect it, he said.
"If anti-virus software cannot identify the signature of the virus coming
through Internet, it will not detect it and as a result the virus will be
downloaded in the computer in spite of such software available in the
network," the expert added.
