In addition to this, the secretary-general requested the international community to demand from New Delhi to stop such cyberattacks by the state-level Indian hacking organization. He declared that “by launching online attacks against its neighboring countries so unscrupulously, India risks violating the cyber codes worked out by the UN Group of Governmental Experts (NGGE) and relevant provisions of international law.”

 

Previously this month an article printed in Global Times, also declared that inquiries conducted by several of China’s leading cybersecurity companies discovered a sophisticated network operating from an Indian hacking organization that “constantly attacked defense and military units as well as state-owned enterprises in China, Nepal, and Pakistan over the past few years.”
