New Delhi [India] July 11 (ANI): A suspected Pakistani group has started modern phishing attacks on India's sensitive infrastructures such as power, telecom and finance, according to a leading cybersecurity firm.
Pentapostagma reported that a cybersecurity consultant of Quick Heal Technologies said that a suspected Pakistani group has started a wave of sophisticated phishing attacks targeting India's crucial infrastructure such as power and telecom.
As per the security consultant, the initial intrusion chain begins with a spear-phishing email -- an email that is designed to get the user to install a virus, trojan or other malware.
Often, the emails pretend to be from government agencies, and also come attached with a fake document -- such as an IT return -- and urges the user to download and open it, reported Pentapostagma.
