In a major cyber attack on India today, Pakistan has reportedly retaliated against Indian aggression by launching a large-scale cyber offensive. This unprecedented digital strike targeted several critical Indian institutions, including the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), defense agencies, telecom companies, and sensitive government portals. The hacked data has allegedly been made available for sale on the dark web, raising serious concerns over India’s cybersecurity infrastructure.
Which Websites Affected by Cyber Attack on India Today?
Sources confirm that the cyber attack on India today resulted in the defacement of numerous Indian websites. These sites displayed the Pakistani flag and religious slogans like “Allahu Akbar.” Among the compromised websites were:
- Crime Research Investigation Agency
- Assam Rifles
- Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL)
- Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML)
- Department of Atomic Energy Portal
- All India Naval Technical Supervisory Staff Association
Sensitive Data Breached, Posted on Dark Web
The cyber attackers claim to have exfiltrated sensitive data from various Indian defense and governmental sites. Information from Indian Defence Production, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Border Security Forces (BSF), and the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation has been compromised. Furthermore, data from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and the Indian Air Force in Maharashtra has also been breached.
The attackers allege that some of this sensitive Indian data is already available on the dark web for sale, including classified defense-related information. Several of the hacked sites reportedly carried messages accusing India of harboring and promoting terrorism.
Infrastructure and Surveillance Compromised
In addition to website defacements, the cyber attack on India today had broader implications. According to cybersecurity analysts:
- Over 2,500 surveillance cameras across Maharashtra were hacked.
- The records of commercial and domestic utility meters were reportedly erased.
- Nearly 70% of India’s power grid feeders were disrupted, affecting energy distribution across several regions.
These claims, if confirmed, indicate a massive breach of national security and infrastructure.
Operation Bunyān al-Marsūs and Al-Fatah Missile Launch
Earlier today, following Fajr (dawn) prayers, Pakistan officially launched Operation Bunyān al-Marsūs, which means “Iron Wall” in Arabic. As part of this operation, Pakistan launched its Al-Fatah missile as a symbolic response to Indian aggression. The missile launch was dedicated to Pakistani children martyred in recent attacks allegedly carried out by Indian forces.
Pakistan’s Military Warning: High-Value Indian Targets on Radar
Pakistan’s military leadership has issued a strong warning, stating that if India continues its aggressive stance, high-value Indian zones, including economic hubs, will be targeted next.
This cyber attack on India today exposes significant vulnerabilities in India’s digital defense systems. The scale, coordination, and impact of this operation suggest a new front in regional conflict—cyber warfare. With sensitive data now allegedly circulating on the dark web, urgent government action is required to bolster national cybersecurity.
