Pakistani hackers up attacks on Indian govt during general elections: Seqrite

As India prepares for the last phase of polling, cybersecurity experts have unearthed cyber attacks from across the border, targeting crucial Indian government and military entities.

Seqrite, the enterprise arm of Quick Heal Technologies, has said there was an alarming escalation in cyberattacks orchestrated by Pakistan-linked advanced persistent threat (APT) groups.

At the forefront of these attacks is SideCopy, a Pakistan-based APT group that has persistently targeted South Asian countries, with a focus on compromising Indian defence and government organisations since at least 2019.
