After the surgical strikes by Indian Army on 29 September, a Pakistani group of hackers has claimed that they have hacked nearly 7000 Indian websites in just a week.
They have claimed that this attack was an act of "revenge" against the Indian Army, and has released the names of the website on Tuesday.
According to the cyber security experts, the hackers are quite immature and didn't write the codes their own instead they used the existing codes to hack into websites.
On 3 October, hackers hacked the National Green Tribunal's website, and claimed it was an act of "revenge", as reported by PTI.,
"We are Unbeatable. You... kill innocent people in Kashmir and call your self-defenders of your country. You...violate the ceasefire on a border and call it 'Surgical Strikes'. Now kiss the burn of Cyber War," the hackers said.
Each and every website hacked had a message or slogan on them.
Legal head of Global Cyber Security Response Team, Mirza Faizan Asad says that "I've seen their post. They are not even proper hackers. They are what we call script kiddies, people who use existing computer scripts to hack into computers as they lack the expertise to write their own."
Aravind Prakash, associate professor at Binghamton University, US, said, "There is always a school of thought that will argue, 'why can't we buy software'? But one must understand that you cannot trust these companies that we buy from to provide a vulnerability-free software or system. Intrusion or hacking happens when there are vulnerabilities."
