The cyber attack emanating from Pakistan came in response to an attack launched by Indian hackers to protest against the death sentence handed out to former Indian Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav. A group of cyber warriors from India took down 30 Pakistan government websites, including that of the country’s railway department, leaving a message on each one of them.

Cyber warriors from India and Pakistan came face to face across cyber space soon after hackers from Pakistan attacked and defaced Indian websites following a terrorist attack on a military camp in Jammu and Kashmir’s Uri sector.
