In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistani hackers launched over 1.5 million cyberattacks on Indian websites, with only 150 breaches reported, indicating a 99.99% failure rate. Maharashtra Cyber identified seven Pakistani Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups behind these attacks, which targeted critical infrastructure and employed malware, DDoS attacks, and misinformation campaigns. Despite a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, cyber offensives persist, with attacks also originating from Bangladesh, the Middle East, and Indonesia. The "Road of Sindoor" report details these cyber warfare activities and has been submitted to key law enforcement agencies, emphasizing the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures to counter persistent threats from state-sponsored actors.
