Western Asian callers hack Bangalore IT firm phone lines, possible terror link considered

Posted on January 5, 2014 by Dissent

Naveen Ammembala has a report on DNA of a hack that may or may not have terrorism connections:

Unidentified callers from a West Asian country managed to hack the firewall of an international video conferencing equipment of an IT company in the city, and make calls to Afghanistan.

Police say that the hacking by the West Asia-based callers was obviously an attempt to communicate with their Afghan associates, while avoiding being detected and located. Police are looking at possible terror links, but refuse to make guesses.

Finding who made the calls could be difficult as Indian police are handicapped by the lack of treaties for exchanging information with police forces in many countries, more so in West Asia.

The anonymous callers hacked the phone lines of Sonata Software Limited, situated at Sonata Towers in Global Village in Pattanegere near Kengeri.
