The ascendency of India as an economic world power

When it comes to hacking, India is not exactly a famous name. Well, this is gradually changing. Indian websites are increasingly coming under attack from hackers. India may be the leader in outsourcing industry but when it comes to Internet security, India is still behind than the developed countries.

DNA India reported:

India remained an internet hackers' paradise during the first half of the current calendar year with 1,752 websites being defaced, according to an analysis by the Department of Information Technology.

 

In the first half till June this year, 39 '.gov.in' websites were defaced, which is 15 per cent of the total number of hacked sites in the '.in' domain while 81 '.co.in' websites were defaced in this period, according to Computer Emergency Response Team (Cert-In) which handles computer securities incidents.    

This is not good news. The number of websites in India is increasing very fast. Indian government has to take appropriate steps in this regard. NASSCOM leaders must come forward too. Internet security is a very grave matter.
