How a Pakistani hackers group is targetting educational institutions and government agencies

Indian security researchers have issued a security alert for the Indian army and top educational institutes in India, including the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs). The alert comes after security researchers detected a wave of cyber attacks orchestrated by a Pakistan-based hacker group called Transparent Tribe. Transparent Tribe is a well-known hacker group that has been active for several years. The group is known for its use of sophisticated techniques, including spear phishing, malware, and social engineering. In the recent attacks, Transparent Tribe has been targeting Indian government agencies and educational institutions. The attacks are believed to be part of a larger campaign by Pakistan to gather intelligence on India. In one case, a senior DRDO scientist was arrested for leaking sensitive information to Pakistani agents who had honey-trapped him. The security alert from Indian security researchers is a reminder of the threat posed by cyber attacks. Organizations in India should be on high alert and take steps to protect themselves from these attacks.
