Pakistani hackers have launched a cyber counterattack called "Operation Salar" in response to recent Indian cyber activities.
A volunteer group of Pakistani hackers announced a coordinated cyber campaign named Operation Salar, claiming it was a direct reaction to alleged Indian cyberattacks, anti-Pakistan propaganda, and ongoing human rights violations in Indian-occupied Kashmir.
Key Highlights of Operation Salar:
- Four major Indian websites were hacked during the initial phase.
- The hackers displayed the Pakistani national flag on the hacked websites.
- Sensitive data was reportedly extracted from these websites.
- The campaign was described as “a warning, not the end” by the hackers.
In a statement, the group said: “We are a peaceful nation, but if anyone threatens our sovereignty or national honor, we will not stay silent. Operation Salar is just the beginning of our digital defense.”
Social Media Reaction:
- The hashtag #OperationSalar is trending across social media platforms.
- Many users are praising the hackers for defending Pakistan’s cyber sovereignty.
- Some are calling for further digital strikes on Indian media, financial systems, and defense websites.
Cybersecurity agencies in both countries are now on high alert as experts warn that this digital confrontation could escalate further in the coming days.
Operation Salar marks a significant moment in the ongoing cyber rivalry between Pakistan and India, highlighting growing concerns over national digital security.
