Amid escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan, Pakistan has reportedly breached India’s cyber defenses, hacking into critical government systems. The attack, which took place on May 10, 2025, is believed to have targeted sensitive military and intelligence data, with Indian officials confirming the breach shortly after.

Pakistani hackers, allegedly supported by state actors, gained access to the Indian Ministry of Defense’s classified documents and military communications. This cyber attack is seen as retaliation for India's recent airstrikes and missile operations in Pakistani territory. Several Indian intelligence reports and strategic planning documents were reportedly leaked online, raising concerns about national security.

India has vowed to strengthen its cyber defenses in response, citing this as a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict. Cybersecurity experts warn that the risk of further attacks could increase as the situation continues to deteriorate. Both countries have ramped up their cyber war capabilities, and global tech giants are now actively monitoring any signs of further breaches.
