The World Faces Undeclared Warfare In Form Of Cyber-Attacks

PRESS RELEASE – August 21, 2020

Authorities in Pakistan confirmed the news that many government departments came under a barrage of cyber attacks, which were later confirmed coming from neighbouring India. It included hacking of mobile phones as well as e-mail accounts of senior government officials.

This is no longer Breaking News; this has become the norm of continued undeclared warfare between rivals in the world, whether they are financial rivals or military ones. The power of the unseen Internet has rocked the US Elections four years ago and caused billions of dollars worth of losses to many major conglomerates.
