Govt warns Indian websites of cyber attack by Pak hackers
Friday, 27 August 2010, 04:10 Hrs
New Delhi: The government on Thursday said it had warned the defence services, financial institutions, PSUs, Internet service providers and prominent private sector organisations of a possible cyber attack by Pakistani hacker groups.
In a written reply to the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for Telecom and IT Sachin Pilot said, "Intelligence agencies recently issued a warning against large scale cyber attacks by Pakistani hacker groups from March 31, 2010, to April 6, 2010, targetting websites of Indian organisations."
During the said period, a total 330 websites were defaced. However, only four websites belonged to government organisations.
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), which detects cyber security threats, has already issued an advisory circulated to all Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) in the government and prominent private sector organisations.
Pilot said that the ministries and departments have been advised to audit their IT systems regularly to ensure robustness of their systems.
The government has formulated a Crisis Management Plan for countering cyber attacks and cyber terrorism, which is under implementation by all ministries and departments of the central government and state governments and critical sectors, he added.
To another query about the health hazards related to telecom towers, he said that sectoral regulator TRAI plans to float a consultation paper on the issue.

4: Uses of Hacking Especially in the field of
commercial world to exactly keep track of
competitors’ products, programs and
technical details or Political fields keep
track of others data base keep it handy to
black mail and subdue them, or criminals
hacking bank codes, transfer of funds and so
on. Originally, hackers were people who were
skilled at computer programming and were
often found around institutions such as MIT.
It becomes imperative now to think of
official launching, like schools for martial
arts in Kerala, or the so called ISS who
offer training program, the corporate
conglomerates who keep track of
competitors’ constantly and few Software
giant veterans recently in news, can educate,
train and bring out the creative talents of
hacking. But this may not be needed in Indian
conditions, where there are so many agents
among the staff who can pass on details
verbatim and documents from Indian Embassy
Pak to our Departmental personnel who were
all in news starting from arms purchase
details to leaking out or Parliament
discussions or budget programs well in
advance. But it’s a good source to
officially create and may be some will come
forward to outsource them .Thank God most of
our politicians are not computer literate
else this will strike them better though few
like Narasimha Rao and others had hands on
experience to keep details of all. Some say
it is correct to use word cracker not hacker.
