MUMBAI: A leading Indian infrastructure company<\/a> recently discovered to its dismay that its IT systems<\/a> were compromised, with hackers gaining remote access to some of the most sensitive information for a fairly long period of time.
\n
While no official complaint has been made by the company, the attack might just be proverbial tip of the iceberg, and cyber-security experts engaged by the firm say Chinese hackers<\/a> were behind the breach. Several Indian companies<\/a> and some government institutions<\/a> have seen an increase in cyber attacks<\/a> originating in China, say industry trackers.
\n
Like in the case of the infrastructure company, these attacks are often carried out through difficult to-trace proxy servers<\/a> in North Korea, Africa, Eastern Europe and Russia. Unlike a normal attack, the Chinese breaches tend to exploit vulnerabilities of Indian IT systems and \"just observe.”

像在基础设施公司的情况下,这些攻击通常通过困难的跟踪代理服务器在朝鲜、非洲、东欧和俄罗斯。与普通攻击,中国违反往往利用印度IT系统的漏洞,“只是观察。”

“通常情况下,网络攻击来自邻国传递VPN和代理服务器在东欧、非洲、朝鲜和俄罗斯。这些攻击是非常复杂的,计划和针对具体的行业和公司,“Amit Jaju说,迪士尼的法医技术及发现服务的合作伙伴。

专家说的一些部门,包括印度的国防工业,对于这些攻击可能是脆弱的。通常,许多印度企业和政府机构甚至没有意识到网络攻击,除非他们绳的专家进行调查。他们也缺乏适当的操作程序,如国防研究员工或公共部门单位。

“虽然中国、巴基斯坦和伊朗有专门团队的网络黑客(免疫力),很难确定在当今世界传出网络攻击的地方。所有的现代机器——飞机、军舰、坦克和汽车运行在网络技术。

发电和配电电网、银行以及石油和通信行业对潜在的攻击是最脆弱的今天,“D Sivanandhan说,前警察局长,马哈拉施特拉邦。

一些专家认为,中国黑客甚至可能使用社会媒体平台,如Facebook,创建、更改和操作意见的印度人在国内一样。

“令人担心的不仅是,黑客非法获取信息或国防数据的访问,他们可能会操纵舆论....通过有针对性的宣传在社交媒体和其他大众传播模式,“Ajinkya沙尔说:伙伴,卡恩的法律。
