India(ICA)-Pakistan(PCA) Cyber Army Warfare 2010 to ???? - This is not for the first time!

'Cyber armies are forming within the countries to show their arrogance towards each other'
Information Technology, particularly Internet, is showing its impact everywhere. Though this is a well accepted truth that internet is creating new innovations in daily life of individuals and in turn nation development. It is no exception to say that technology is also damaging the fame of nations in the form of cyber attacks on each other.

The recent incident of hacking the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) Website by the Pakistani Cyber Army(PCA) is an example for this. But, this is not for first time the Cyber Armies of India and Pakistan are involved in this type of activities. Previously the Indian Cyber Army(ICA) has also Hacked and released a list of 800 Pakistani websites defaced by it on November 26 this year as a revenge of the Mumbai terror attacks that started on the day two years ago, including some Pakistan Government sites and that of terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen.

The Indian Cyber Army (ICA) on Saturday struck back by hacking the official website of Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (OGRA), a day after the CBI’s official website was hacked by (PCA).

The full-scale cyber war between hackers owing allegiance to the two countries has triggered even as the CBI registered a case against unknown persons for hacking and defacement of its portal.

The screenshot of the hacked OGRA website read: “You Have Been Hacked By The “INDIAN CYBER ARMY”. This Is a Retaliation of Hacking “CBI”. You were Very Proud That Your OGRA has Not Been Hacked? Huh!? we can do anything for INDIA.”

The OGRA website was initially restored by the authorities there but the account got completely suspended thereafter. The CBI too struggled to rectify the defacement. Both the PCA and ICA exploited “software vulnerability” for hacking.

One of the hackers of ICA team, Disfigure, notified the Hacker Regiment (a cyber security awareness portal) that they have been able to compromise OGRA of Pakistan available at http://ogra.org.pk as retaliation to PCA’s attack on Indian websites, including CBI’s official website.

A Pakistani media report said besides the CBI website, portals of colleges, NGOs and Indian companies have also been hacked.

Disfigure said, “PCA has not done a great job. They targeted very soft targets and such vulnerable websites are floating all over the web. If we start targeting such Pakistani websites, list would be beyond anyone’s imagination.”

Is this the way the technology should be used? If so, oh god! please peel off this crummy skin called technology from our(both Pakistanis and Indians) fruitful and unspoilt bodies.
We want peace! We want peace! not only between us but all over the world!
