NEW DELHI: At the start of 2025, following a high-level meeting in the national Capital, Indian Intelligence agencies had signalled that going into the future, New Delhi's major concerns on the security front would be cybercrime. While cybercrime has always been a threat to the security of the nation, the agencies have smelt a DeskRAT and have been picking up a new trend.
Hackers from Pakistan, China and other countries have ramped up operations and have been targeting both financial institutions and the military. This is part of the psy-ops that Pakistan has launched and the larger aim is to embarrass the military and hurt the Indian economy.
The Indian agencies have been picking up a new trend in the manner that these criminals have been operating.
