Thwarting the cyber onslaught during Operation Sindoor
India's top government websites—including the Prime Minister's Office—were slammed by massive DDoS cyberattacks in "Operation Sindoor."
Most of the attacks came from China, Pakistan, and Gulf countries, aiming to disrupt key online services during a tense period with Pakistan.
TL;DR
Attackers flooded sites with over 100 times their usual traffic
Between April 22 and May 10, these attacks flooded sites with over 100 times their usual traffic, hitting not just government offices but also finance, education, and telecom sectors.
The government quickly rolled out advanced firewalls and AI-powered threat filters; even after prolonged assaults, core servers stayed up thanks to strong protection protocols.
Cyber teams are still tracking down the hackers behind this coordinated attack.
