Busted: Attempt to hack computers of top Army officers with sex videos

The cyber security team of the Indian Army has uncovered a coordinated attempt to hack into the computers of its senior officers with decoy emails that purportedly contained links of "their sex videos". At least four officers of Lieutenant General-rank posted at South Block headquarters were the target of the malicious bid, Mail Today learned.

 

"The malicious email was analysed for nefarious designs and it was found to have a data stealing malware of the remote access trojan (RAT) variant. Once this malware is injected in a system, all the information available on it can be stolen by hackers sitting far away from mainland India," highly-placed officers in the Army said.
