China continues to pose cyber security threats to India

India Today  

Security analysts and war historians often cite that the next world war will be fought not on the ground, or in the air or under water, but virtually in the cyber world. Ever since the border skirmishes between India and China in May 2020, Chinese hacker groups have been regularly targeting Indian public sector companies and technical establishments via cyber security breaches. Now, a report by the Insikt group based in the US, comprising of a team of veteran threat researchers that support intelligence analysts, engineers, and data scientists who carry out cyber security and intelligence analysis, states that hackers having their origins in China launched a series of cyber-attacks against high profile Indian targets including the Bennett Coleman And Co Ltd, of the Times Group and the UIDAI and the Madhya Pradesh Police department to name a few. FUTURE IMPLICATIONS The Insikt Group strongly believes that the TAG-28 is a Chinese state- Be it the BCCL intrusion or more importantly the intrusions into the UIDAI and the Madhya Pradesh Police network, these are serious cases of cyber security breach and something the Indian government and the technical firms should take more seriously. It is a fact that the Indian government recorded 1.16 million cyber security related incidents in 2020 alone, a three times spike from 2019.
