Supreme Court & Congress Both Denied Anonymous Attack
We all are aware of
Anonymous movement regarding the decision of Indian govt for controlling internet content. Immediately after this step, few unnamed hacker claiming to be a part of hacker collective Anonymous engaged cyber attack on India's cyber fence.
Supreme Court of India &
All India Congress became the victim of that attack. Even one of the legitimate twitter resource of Anonymous said :-
"Namaste #India, your time has come to trash the current government and install a new one. Good luck." After this tweet we have seen Supreme Court & Congress website faced denial of service attack which interrupts the service for a certain time. Hacker group Anonymous is believed to have attacked the websites in response to the Centre blocking torrent portal Pirate Bay and video-sharing Vimeo. The group is said to have launched “
MT Operation India” to protest the government's censorship plan.
This is not the first time earlier in 2011 hackers from Pakistan have hacked the official website of
All India Congress. Also in an attack another Pak Hacker named KhantastiC haXor penetrated the official site of Indian Congress and
defaced the Profile page of Party President
Sonia Gandhi.
But this time both Supreme Court & Congress completely denies the cyber attack. Congress party's computer department chief Vishwajeet Prithvijeet Singh said- “The site is not hacked at all. It was not opening for sometime because the load on the particular server was too heavy due to huge number of hits after the news of website hacking spread. It went slow at that time due to over-traffic.”

After Maharashtra Now Srinagar is Setting up A new Cyber-Cell
To fight against rising cyber-crime Srinagar is setting up another cyber Police Station. This will be the second Cyber police station in Jammu & Kashmir. Earlier the state’s home department had proposed to establish three cyber police station, with two in Srinagar and one in Jammu. In Srinagar, cyber police stations were supposed to be established at Crime Branch Headquarters and SOG headquarters Cargo. The cyber crime police station located at SOG headquarters Jammu was inaugurated by chief minister Omar Abdullah on February 16 this year.
On the same day, the police and civil administration in Srinagar had made adequate arrangements for online inauguration of cyber crime police station by chief minister at Srinagar based SOG headquarters. “The Cyber crime police station here was not inaugurated,citing the reason that one state could not have more than one such police station,” said a senior police officer.
“A full fledged cyber police station will start functioning in Srinagar by next month as preparations for establishing it are almost complete,” Director General of Police (DGP) J&K, Kuldeep Khoda told media. Pertinently, Jammu and Kashmir has become sixth state and seventh place in India to have separate cyber crime police station. Prior to Jammu and Kashmir, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and CBI Headquarters in New Delhi had set up separate police stations to deal with the cyber crime. Earlier in this month we cover that Maharashtra Govt is planning to setup
5 More Cyber-Cells In Maharashtra including Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Pune & Kolhapur.
So we must have to say slowly but steadily Indian Govt is plaining to enhance cyber-security :-P

5 More Cyber-Cells In Maharashtra (Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Pune & Kolhapur)
In a bid to curb cyber crime, the Maharashtra government on Saturday announced that it would set up five more cyber cells in the state. According to Satej Patil minister of state for home "The cyber cells will be set up in Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Pune and Kolhapur mainly to curb cyber crimes like data theft and hacking," Maharashtra reported an increase of 151% in cyber crime, with cases rising from 161 in 2009 to 246 in 2010. Mumbai alone reported 49 cases as against 39 in 2009. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report ‘Crime in India for the year 2010’, the city registered 58 cases related to cyber crime under the IT Act, 2000, in 2010, as against eight in 2009.
Pune is closely followed by Hyderabad at second position with 56 cases, Bangalore and Mumbai are at the third position with 49 cases each
A senior officer attached with the city police told DNA, “Presently, Bangalore and Hyderabad, the two top IT hubs in the country, have such specialised police station. The Mumbai police also opened a station at Bandra-Kurla complex in suburban Bandra on May 2009,” Cyber crime victims have to virtually run from pillar to post to lodge complaints.
Late in 2011 we have seen
Kolkata has set up a new cyber-lab to prevent or fight against cyber crime, now
Maharashtra Govt. has planned to setup 5 new cyber cells. So we must have to say slowly but steadily Indian Govt is plaining to enhance cyber-security :P
