Pakistani Hackers plan attack on Indian cyber networks

Everyday we are exposed to no of risk & to my surprise even a music portal is not a safe place to spend some time to relax from your busy schedule.The News flashed on yahoo on 6th Jan 2009 states that after the Mumbai terror strikes, anti-India elements in Pakistan are now planning an attack on Indian computer networks, intelligence agencies have warned. Pakistani hackers are trying out a dry run against Indian networks through popular websites registered there after the Mumbai terror strike.

Pakistani hackers have created websites such as www.songs.pk, which is infested with software to hack data from the targeted computers. The website www.songs.pk has over 12 Lakh Indian users who are downloading stuff from these websites daily. As these websites are highly popular, it will take only a few minutes & the number of such computers can multiple in every Minute.

Sources says that instead of the existing less harmful virus, new once such as Botnet & Zoombie can be easily released into the Indian computers. Now a days new virus & worms are detected while downloading songs from these websites , which could be just a dry run to manage a bigger attack.

So this is a humble request to all my friends that kindly install a good Anti virus in your machine & avoid downloading songs from such portals.
