The Pahalgam Attack, a Pakistani hacker group, Team Insane PK, vandalised the Army College of Nursing website, prompting a nationwide cybersecurity alert in India. Authorities warn of potential future attacks targeting critical infrastructure as part of a broader cyberwarfare strategy.

The Indian government has issued a cybersecurity alert after a hacking group based in Pakistan targeted the Army College of Nursing following an attempt to compromise the G20 website. All government ministries, departments, and organizations have been directed to strengthen their cyber defenses to prevent such incursions.

According to sources, the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) has prepared an internal assessment following the most recent cyberattack, which occurred soon after the Pahalgam terror assault. As part of a larger cyberwarfare plan, the agency believes that further cyberattacks, especially on critical infrastructure, may be on the horizon.

All departments are advised by a reviewed alert to improve their cybersecurity procedures immediately. They have been told to put strong security measures in place and adhere to Cyber Hygiene Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) in order to stop unauthorized access and data breaches.

The Army College of Nursing’s homepage was vandalised on April 25 by the hacking collective Team Insane PK, which is based in Pakistan. The headline said, “You are hacked!” and also included images of the latest Pahalgam massacre and militant Burhan Wani.

“Our religion, customs, and beliefs are miles apart—and that makes us stronger,” the hackers added in a provocative message. The two-nation hypothesis is true; it was not merely a theory. You are Hindu, and we are Muslims. Allah is with us. You will die because of your religion, not because it will save you. Said, we are too strong and superior.

Authorities view this as a psychological warfare approach meant to undermine Indian institutions, in addition to being a felony. The origin and network of the hacker organisation are being investigated, and attempts are being made to track them down.
