“Time and again hackers from both Pakistan and India have hacked and defaced each other’s websites. They have left a trace of their pseudo-hacking names and indulged in patriotic slogans o inr name calling.

After India’s surgical strike on terror launch pads across the line of control,various Indian websites faced cyber attacks by
Pakistanis.The hackers claimed the attacks were an“act of revenge”.Most of these hackers are not experts but just“script kiddies”who can’t write their own code.”“So far they haven’t
been able to do damage to critical infrastructure systems Isuch as power,defence,communication,water supply,hospitals]of
the country.”Some Indian cyber security organisations,however,claim that they are capable of entering Pakistan’s critical systems and destroying them if the need arose.Samiran Santra,head of Indian Cyber Security Solutionsclaims some Indian hackers are far more skilful than their Pakistani counterparts.”In January,Indian hackers got
into websites of three Pakistani airports,including the one at Islamabad,and gained access to their back-end server.Not only
did they bring down the websites,but also injected them with ransomware [software designed to block access to a computer system until money is paid]

Indian hackers usually don’t attack vital structures of enemy nations because they don’t get support from the government.Russian hackers,supported by their government,have been known to cripple.power stations in Ukraine,shutting down incubators for babies and life support machines in hospitals;blinded airports forceing pilots to crash land;and thrown metropolises into pitch darkness.
Closer home,China’s cyber capabilitieshave evolved with the People’s Liberation Army’s ongoing modernisation drive.Ac-
cording to Atarthy,China is a bigger threat than Pakistan in cyberspace.He analyses cyber security threats on a critical structure and says,“Several Indian companies have seen an increase in cyber attacks originating from China.These are often routed through different proxy servers of North KoreaAfrica and Russia,making it very difficult to trace them.”

Why has India not been able to raise an army of lethal hackers?“Unlike most Russian and Chinese hackers,Indians are not adopted coding that makes it possible to create original software for computers,apps and websites.

Now that cyberspace has turned into the fourth field of war after ground,sea and air. India raised a robust
cyber command befrre hackers from tenery natiors learnhit our criticalinfrastructure and bring about casualties
similar to that of a nuclear bomb.Joydeep Bhattacharya,chief operating officer of Calcutta-based IT company TCG
Digital,says,”The country urgently needs to develop an elite cadre of cyber warriors.Thebiggest concern is not merely the advancing threats but also how to find people who can effectively and intelligently respond to cyber terrorism,cyber crimes andnation sponsored attacks.”Last year,TCG developed India’s first cyber range-a simulation of a cyber war that defence establishments, securityagencies, government’ departments andpublic and private enterprises can use to
develop cyber warriors,This elite cadrewill defend against sophisticated cyber attacks,protecting critical components con-
nected to computer networks.The cyber range can also be used to train hackers to undertake offensive operations against
enemy targets.Apparently,discussions are on with several government departments to train people in the cyber ranger
Just jingoism will not be enough to savew the country from a cyber attack or launcha counter-attack.The nation needs some realhackers,india needs them now.
