In a retaliatory cyber attack, Pakistan’s cyber force breached Indian news channel ABP News. The hackers broadcast patriotic slogans such as “Pakistan Zindabad” (Long Live Pakistan) alongside military content, including a speech by Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir.
The digital skirmish underscores the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. This incident not only showcases Pakistan’s prowess in cyber warfare but also demonstrates its resolve to counter any perceived aggression from New Delhi. ABP News was forced to operate with compromised systems while scrambling to regain control over their broadcasting infrastructure.
This move is seen as a significant escalation in a conflict that has simmered for years, touching on border skirmishes and disputed territories like the Kashmir region. The hacking attack highlights how digital warfare can escalate tensions quickly without physical confrontation but with severe implications for global cybersecurity strategies.
