The National Computer Emergency Response Team (National CERT) has issued a high-priority advisory warning of an increasing danger of cyberattacks against Pakistan’s government institutions and key infrastructure amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan.
The advice states that hackers may conduct sophisticated assaults by taking advantage of the geopolitical unrest that is now occurring in South and Central Asia. Government agencies, military sites, financial institutions, and media outlets are possible targets.
The warning emphasizes how attackers can use techniques like malware infections, spear-phishing tactics, and deepfakes to compromise systems, steal private data, and interfere with necessary services.
