Cybersecurity researchers on Thursday said they have discovered a hacktivist group from Bangladesh that is targeting the Indian government’s websites and and servers.
The group called Mysterious Team Bangladesh (MT) is using DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks against domains and subdomains of several state governments and a web server hosted by the Indian government, according to the team from cyber-security firm CloudSEK.
“Websites belonging to governments of Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab and Tamil Nadu were affected,” the researchers added.
This came to light when a member of the group made a post claiming to have launched an HTTP flood DDoS attack on government websites. Similar posts were seen on multiple platforms including Facebook and Telegram.
