The spurt in online attacks from across the border was noticed after tensions rose between the two countries in eastern Ladakh, said Yashasvi Yadav, Special Inspector General of Police of the Maharashtra Police’s cyber wing.
“Adhuri kahaani par khamosh honton ka pehra hai, chot rooh ki hai isiliye dard zara gehra hai (silent lips guard my incomplete tale, the soul is wounded and the pain is deep) #life #stress #sadness #depression #pain,” tweeted the actress in Hindi on Tuesday.
” Maharashtra Cyber’, the state police’s cyber wing, collated information about these attempts and most of them were found to have originated in Chengdu area in China, informed Yadav. “According to our information at least 40,300 cyber attacks were attempted in the last four-five days on the resources in Indian cyberspace,” he said “
“The attacks aimed at causing issues such as denial of service, hijacking of Internet Protocol and phishing,” Yadav added.
Indian Internet users should pay attention to the threat of such attacks, create robust ‘firewalls’ and conduct ‘cyber security audits’, the IGP said.
