Cyber security threats

The vulnerability of Indian website especially the government owned yet again came to light causing serious concern when Chinese hackers hacked a BSNL Gujarat website, www.gujarat.bsnl.co.in. It reveals the fact that the government owned telecom measure is no more under its control.

After hacking the government owned telecom website, the hackers left a message on the index page as: “Hacked By Cilgin Hacker thanks: m0sted, kerem125, sari_seytan, ercu_145 all Terörist Crew”.

The sources however expressed confidence that no sensitive material was acquired by the hackers and the website now is fully functional.

Chinese hackers, as most of the hackers’ IP address sketched to China, has been continuously attacking Indian official websites in order to access e-mails and communications between the officials and foreign mission.

As of now there is no such technology developed to provide complete protection to a website, but the only option to constantly monitor the development in the site. Under such circumstances where Internet has replaced every other option in all works, security to official documents, emails is a major security concern.

Earlier this month, the website of the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India was hacked by some Chinese hackers. Also on the same day hackers got access to the server of official website of Tibetan government-in-exile in India and blocked the site, which was later restored.

In fact, it is not only India, but also the official network of Pentagon, Germany was targeted by hackers last year. However, Chinese officials have been rejecting this allegation terming it as baseless argument.

No doubt there must be large network of hackers, who are hacking official computer networks of different countries in order to destabilize or distract the communication network at any crucial time posing a great threat to the entire functioning.
