Pak hackers plan attack on Indian cyber networks: Intel

After the Mumbai terror strikes, anti-India elements in Pakistan are now planning an attack on Indian computer networks, intelligence agencies have warned.

Already Pakistani hackers are trying out a dry run against Indian networks through popular websites registered
there after the Mumbai terror strikes, Home Ministry sources told PTI on Tuesday.

"Every time the relations between the two countries dampen, Pakistanis start attacking Indian computer networks
and this has increased after the Mumbai terror attacks," a Home Ministry source said.

Pakistani hackers have created websites such as the www.songs.pk, which are infested with software to hack data
from the targeted computers, it said.

"The website www.songs.pk has over 12 lakh Indian users who are downloading stuff from these websites daily," said a cyber expert in the Ministry.

With these websites being highly popular, it will take only a few minutes for the hackers to take command of over 12 lakh computers in few minutes and the number of such computers can multiply in every minute, sources said.

"Instead of the existing less harmful virus, new ones such as Botnet and Zoombie can be easily released into the Indian computers, which later on replicate and make the entire server vulnerable," the expert said.

"Now a days new virus and worms are detected while downloading songs from these websites, which could be just a
dry run to manage a bigger attack," he said.

Government websites have been highly vulnerable to hacking and they have been intruded many times by the Pakistani hackers.

"Most of the time, these cases are not reported as the server is based in Pakistan and we cannot do anything in this regard," the expert said.

The anti-virus software, too, cannot work in such situation as the virus used in such cyber wars are usually new and the anti-virus software cannot identity and detect it, he said.

"If anti-virus software cannot identify the signature of the virus coming through Internet, it will not detect it and as a result the virus will be downloaded in the computer in spite of such software available in the network," the expert added.

The same way other warez site stays online. Offshore hosting. If it's hosted in Pakistan, I doubt anything can be done.

And AFAIK, there isn't any MP3 virus...of course if people are stupid enough to be trapped in Rogue trojan, that is to be .mpg (to give an impression of mp3), god bless them.

Edit: lol! just recheck, and they're hosted in the United States. Woha at the dumb. Though that 'big' hosting company doesn't take just any DMCA notice serious, unless you properly write it up. It's funny that so-called cyber expert in ministry (lol?) couldn't do that, and also said it's hosted in Pakistan.

[Abhishek Dwivedi]

hosted in US... super n00bs paki guy n super duper n00b cyber expert in indian ministry...

[ravi_9793]

Lets avoid all .pk sites.

[Faun]

Typical case of media attention whore cyber experts

It is sad that so many Indians visit that site., in spite of knowing .pk is a Pakistani Website...

Personally I feel those people visiting those sites deserve to get hacked...

@OP: Would you not mind removing the link. Since, a lot of people might visit that site and get infected...

Will you say same thing to the visitors of tr******va and bollyextr****m??????

Anyway ... networks can be hacked from diff places also .. if some one host a site from US which allows you to download stuffs what we can do??? most importantly rather that sites attacks, we should be prepared and take precautions for torrents downloads cuz its gives a port which is granted by firewall

so, instead of poining s#.pk .. lets be secure against all attacks ...
