Cert-in alert: The tension between India and Pakistan is increasing. This tension has increased further after the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 innocent people were killed (in the Besaran Valley). Subsequently, 9 terrorist bases in the neighboring country were destroyed on 7 May under Operation Sindoor, in which no citizen was damaged. Now, the Indian government has issued an alert that Pakistani hackers can target India's banks and social media. The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-in) has issued an advisory regarding this and has said that public and private sector organizations should be cautious and strengthen their cyber security.

Banks and financial institutions were asked to increase cyber security
In the advisory issued by CERT-in, banks and banks and financial institutions have been asked to fix their cyber security. According to CERT-in, these institutions can be a teacher of Pakistani cyber attacks. It has also been said in the advisory that any unusual or suspicious online activity is detected as soon as it is detected.

Cyber ​​threat through social media and unknown numbers
The government has also instructed people to be careful while using social media platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram and Facebook. The risk of targeting users through links or fake files sent through unknown numbers or accounts is very high.

Let us know that the situation has become even more serious after India started Operation Sindoor on 7 May. After this operation, the preparation of digital attacks of Pakistani agencies is being feared. Cert-in is closely monitoring the developments and has reiterated that both government and private institutions should stay on high alert.
