It has come to attention via the Twitter account “Pakistan Cyber Force” that the group has allegedly gained access to sensitive data from the
Indian Military Engineering Service and Manoher Parrikar Institute of Defence Studies and Analysis. This claim suggests that the attackers may have compromised personel information related to defense persons including the login credentails.
In addition to this data breach, it has also been reported that the group also attempted to deface the official website of Armoured Vehicle Nigam Limited, a PSU company under MoD. The website has been defaced by using Pakistan flag and Al Khalid tank.
As a precautionary measure, the website of Armoured Vehicle Nigam Limited has been taken offline for a thorough and deliberate audit, in order to assess the extent of any potential damage caused by the defacement attempt and to ensure the integrity of the website.
Furthermore, cybersecurity experts and agencies are actively monitoring cyberspace to detect any additional cyberattacks, particularly those that may be sponsored by threat actors linked to Pakistan.
This ongoing surveillance aims to quickly identify and mitigate any future risks posed by these cyber attackers.
In response to the situation, appropriate and necessary measures are being taken to bolster the security infrastructure, strengthen digital defenses, and safeguard against further intrusion attempts.
These efforts are focused on enhancing the overall resilience of online platforms and ensuring that forces are better prepared to defend against future cyber threats.
