12 thousand government websites of India are on the target of a hacker group from Indonesia. The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C) has issued an alert. According to the issued warning, 12,000 government websites have websites of the central government and different state governments. These websites are being monitored by a group named ‘Hacktivist Indonesia’.
According to the alert, the hacktivist hacking group has listed Indian websites. There are 12,000 government websites on the list of hackers, about which the concerned cyber security agencies in India have become alert. The alert has been circulated to all agencies, central and state government wings. However, Indian government websites are ‘updated’ and ‘capable’, which can deal with such threats.
In the report, government officials have also been informed about the measures to avoid this. On behalf of the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Center, it has been said that the employees working in government institutions should ensure they do not become victims of cybercrime. Avoid clicking on any unknown email or link so that the security of the websites can be protected from any such attack.
Exceptional Advice Has Been Given To Government Employees
It has also been said in the alert how hackers can target. According to the issued warning, after being hacked, the website will be closed as soon as it opens. Additionally, government employees have always been advised to use the secure network only for working. Significantly, hackers have been targeting Indian websites for some time now.
In fact, after the comments made against Prophet Muhammad last year, tension increased in the country. During that time, Malaysian hacktivist gangs had also targeted Indian government websites.
