The NIA has widened its probe into alleged DDoS attacks on 54 Indian government websites during Operation Sindoor. Searches across five states recovered digital devices and documents. Gujarat ATS said the accused lacked capacity for sustained disruption but their intent and online coordination raised security concerns.
Ahmedabad: Even as Indian forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, the Pahalgam terror attack and its fallout was unfolding not only across the border but also in cyberspace, as Indian government websites were being targeted in a separate campaign that investigators later described as an attempted act of "cyber terrorism".
Also Watch:
More than a year after the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) first busted the case, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has now widened the probe, conducting searches at five locations across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Telangana, Bihar and Delhi last week.
The searches have brought renewed attention to a largely less visible dimension of the security challenge during Operation Sindoor: Attempts to disrupt India's digital infrastructure at the same time that the country was confronting a conventional terror threat.
