Major Cyberattack Hits India: PM’s website hacked and Power Grid Compromised

A major cyberattack, reportedly launched by Pakistan, has caused widespread disruption across India. According to national media, multiple Indian websites have been hacked, including the official website of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Military and Satellite Systems Targeted

Reports say that India’s military satellite has also been jammed and is now inoperative. This satellite was critical for defense communications and surveillance.

Power Grid Hacked in Maharashtra

One of the biggest targets was the Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Limited. After the cyberattack, power across the state went out completely. Experts say the attack also deleted all records related to domestic and commercial electricity meters.

Government and Defense Websites Breached

Dozens of important websites were reportedly hacked during this operation. These include:

• Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) official website

• Crime Research Investigation Agency

• Mahanagar Telecommunication Company Limited

• Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML)

• All India Naval Technical Supervisory Staff Association

• Hindustan Aeronautics Limited

• Border Security Force (BSF)

• Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)

All content from these websites has been wiped out. Data from the Indian Air Force, Maharashtra Election Commission, and other sensitive platforms has also been leaked.

Surveillance Compromised

The cyberattack also breached more than 2,500 surveillance cameras, raising serious concerns about national security.

Situation Still Developing

Authorities are still investigating the full extent of the damage. The government has not yet confirmed who is responsible, but early reports strongly suggest a Pakistani cyber team is behind the operation.
