Exposure of Information is directly proportional to the Cyber-crimes in the world. Cyber-attacks are the costliest attacks in the world, plays with loss in crores.
Cyber wars are started in the recent years secretly to defeat the countries with the help of technologies. India is facing 10,000 phishing attacks every day to capture the data. Major part goes to the attack of our neighbor countries that have good relationship in front of UNO.
Recent Cyber-attacks in the Indian Private Television networks
Recently, a private television networks (Jaya TV) website in TamilNadu was hacked by the Pakistani terrorist whose intention was just to threaten us that they can intrude any kind of security system. Few months ago, the same thing was happened to Zee TV by Bangladesh’s terrorist. Don’t we have protection? Don’t we have the power to prove ourselves? We have everything. Then what we don’t have? We don’t have enough awareness of what should not be done in the Internet.
Cyber Operations of other countries
In another side, every country is taking preventive measures to face the cyber-attacks. Norman Government has deployed “Operation Hangover”, an intrusion detection system with the help of a Norwegian data security firm and the shadow server foundation. Russians are practicing successful method of preventing cyber-attacks. They will never give the clue about the intrusion detection systems, because they will never actively filter the internet. As the Moscow Times notes, the Russian government is suspected of supporting similar DDOS attacks against targets in Georgia and Ukraine.
E-mail Spoofing
Collecting email id of government officials and sending those spams is now a day’s very common attack. By doing this, Officers can’t see the important mails as those mails will be in between the spam mails. Also, the cyber criminals managed to steal email IDs belong to Prime Minister’s office, Defense, external affairs, finance ministries and Intelligence agencies.
Cyber-attacks to ‘Apple’
It’s obvious that attacks are aimed to get the fame to get the attention of world. Recently Apple users faced bot malware attack. Unfortunately, these Mac attacks were not solved immediately, the attackers take control of computers and steal information they can then sell for a profit. Of course, plenty of companies like Symantec sells network intrusion detection and prevention systems. If the end user software detects any suspicious activity, it will trigger the security software. It will start analyzing the information being transferred to and from the network as a whole. By the way, malware being passed around or patterns of activity indicative of a botnet can be detected.
Last week, ESET, a Slovakian anti-virus firm, published detail successful Indian attempts to breach computers in Pakistan. I feel these attacks reduce the fame of India, Even if Indians are trying these kinds of activities. And who knows this could be an attack by another country and leave the traces of India. However, it is clearly visible that India is under spot light of Cyber Crimes.
The whole world is preparing for preventing from Cyber Crimes. We Indians should also take part in it.
