FOLLOWING REPORTS of a spike in coordinated cyber attacks by Chinese hackers, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has written to all web portals and websites within its ambit to conduct a security audit and submit a compliance certificate as soon as possible.
Government officials said such attacks have increased multifold since the border clash with Chinese troops on June 15 and the ban on 59 apps linked to China.
“Most of these attacks are in the nature of DDOS (distributed denial of service), phishing, jobs with a computer science degree, remote access tool malware and keylogging (tracking every keystroke made by a user),” an official said.

The DoT letter, sent late Friday night, has also asked the web portals and websites to upgrade their online security and the systems used by officials in the ministry.
“A pattern we have seen is most of these attacks and malware have jobs with a computer science degree(Command and Control) servers in China.
Right after the (border) clashes, we observed up to 10,000 attack attempts per day. It has come down a bit but we have to be alert,” another official said.
