After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Pakistani hackers hacked three Rajasthan government websites and defaced them with objectionable content, posting: "Pakistan Cyber Force. The next attack will not be with bullets, but with technology."
In one of the posts, the hackers, claiming to be part of the ‘Pakistan Cyber Force’, made inflammatory remarks about India, referencing the recent terror incident in Pahalgam. The message alleged the attack was an “inside job” and included threatening language such as: "You lit the fire. Now get ready to melt. The next blow will not be bullets, but a digital attack. No limits. No warning. No mercy."
The hackers also posted offensive comments about Himanshi Narwal, the wife of the late Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, whose image sitting beside her husband’s mortal remains had recently gone viral on social media.
On Monday night, the hackers posted similar content by breaching the websites of the Department of Urban Development and the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA). These sites were defaced with messages supporting Pakistan. While both websites have since been restored, the education department portal remains temporarily shut down, with recovery efforts currently underway.
Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar stated that cybersecurity agencies have been alerted, and an investigation is ongoing to identify the hacking group and assess any potential data breaches. So far, no sensitive data leaks have been confirmed, but a comprehensive audit of all departmental systems is being carried out as a precaution.
