'Indian' hackers disable Canadian Armed Forces website amid diplomatic row: Report

| @indiablooms | Sep 29, 2023, at 12:51 am

New Delhi: The official website of the Canadian Armed Forces faced disruption as it was briefly deactivated on Wednesday, media reports said.

The Telegraph reported that the website was attacked by a hacking group called 'Indian Cyber Force', who claimed responsibility on X (formerly Twitter) for the cyberattack.

The site went down around noon but was cleared after some time, Daniel Le Bouthillier, head of media relations at the Department of National Defence told The Globe and Mail.

In a post on X, the Indian Cyber Force declared that the "Canadian Airforce Website has been taken down" and posted a screenshot of the disrupted website with the error message.

On September 22, the group aired its unhappiness with the Canadian government's "allegations and anti-India politics."

This cyberattack on the Canadian Air Force’s site came in the midst of a diplomatic faceoff between India and Canada following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, last week, accused India of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing.

India strongly rejected the allegations with a strong statement, calling them "absurd" and “motivated”.

It also asked Canada to crack down on terrorists and anti-India elements active on its soil and halted visa services for Canadians.
