Pakistani cyber criminals are able to deface 50 to 60 Indian websites a day. But in retaliation, only 10 to 15 Pakistani websites are defaced. And, this has been going on since 2001, according to ethical hacker Ankit Fadia.

He said though India was the IT capital of the world, it is far lagging behind as far as cyber security is concerned. “Terrorists are using the most advanced technologies for communicating with each other, which include VoIP (voice-over Internet protocol), hiding messages inside photographs, draft emails and encrypted pen drives,” he added.
