India’s cyber defenses breached and reported; govt. yet to fix it

Posted on February 21, 2021 by Dissent

John Xavier reports that India’s government has been slow to respond to a report by ethical hackers that had been shared with the U.S. Department of  Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3):

which initiated contact with the India’s National Critical Infrastructure Information Protection Centre (NCIIPC). Following this, the security team shared its 34-page threat report to NCIIPC on February 8.

Xavier continues:
