In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, Indian defense websites have come under cyber assault from Pakistan-based hackers. These attackers are exploiting India's '.IN' domain to mimic legitimate sites, targeting defense personnel with phishing schemes. Notably, websites like coorddesk and ksboards have been identified in these operations. The cyber onslaught coincides with heightened tensions following the attack, which saw militants segregate and execute tourists based on religion. India has responded by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and expelling Pakistani diplomats. Meanwhile, Pakistan denies involvement, attributing the unrest to internal Indian issues. The situation underscores the escalating hybrid warfare tactics employed amidst the ongoing India-Pakistan standoff. (PC: News18)
