After World War II, there was no war in the world that caused great damage. When it comes to war it affects all the countries involved.Another war similar to World War II is less likely to take place in the world. Because all countries are aware of the damage and damage that can result from it. Moreover, in this century of proliferation of nuclear weapons, a war could endanger humankind. But an alternative has emerged. That is 'Cyber War'.
Over the past few weeks, China has been making headlines for cyber attacks on India. Allegations are flying from many quarters that China is responsible for a number of incidents, from the theft of information on India's corona vaccine to the Mumbai blackout. But China is denying all this. And why should India care about a cyber war that does not know whether it will happen or not?
On October 12, a sudden blackout occurs across the city of Mumbai. Everything from traffic signals to train services is affected. The city itself is stagnant. At the time, the corporation administration said the problem was due to a staff disorder.Four months later, the American newspaper New York Times published a report with the report of the cyber security company Recorded Future. He blamed the cyber attack on Chinese companies for the blackout in Mumbai. It subsequently inquires into the issue of Maharashtra's cyber move and submits a report that China may be responsible.
India and China are the top two largest exporters and exporters of corona vaccine worldwide. Of these, 60 per cent of the vaccines sold worldwide are from India.Another cyber security company, Cyberma, has detected cyber attacks on Indian vaccine manufacturers Bharat Biotech and the Serum Institute of India, which were carried out by APT10, a Chinese company. The companies concerned have refused to divulge information about this.
CERT-In (Indian Computer Emergency Response Team) is the body that takes immediate action in case of cyber security incidents in India, takes precautionary measures and looks into matters related to cyber attacks. CERT-In has received information that a similar cyber attack may take place in Telangana's power plant.Steps were taken to prevent it at the Telangana Electricity Board. Prabhakar Rao, chairman and managing director of Ts-Transco (Transmission Corporation of Telangana), said, "CERT-In has been informed that the Chinese company is seeking to liaise with TSSLDC (Telangana State Load Dispatch Center) and Ts-Transco's servers. Various preventive measures were taken following the discovery.That fact must be taken into account.
According to Recorded Future, there is a possibility of a cyber attack not only in Mumbai but also in more than five such power distribution systems in India and in two ports in India.Over the past few years, cyber attacks by Chinese companies have been on the rise in India's private and government sectors. China has consistently denied all allegations leveled against it.Only the United States, China, and Russia are seeking to dominate technology. Emerging India has always been a stumbling block for China, which hopes to emerge as a unique power in the Asian region.So China is doing this in a way that warns that they can do anything with technology. On the other hand, the problems between the United States and Russia are intensifying. The recent Solar Winds cyber attack in the United States is an example of that.
