The total number of security attack on Indian government websites has come down in 2013. According to the report by Indian Computer Response team (CERT-IN) 78 governmnet websites were hacked in 2013. 

 

This is much lower than the 371 websites being hacked in 2012 and 308 in 2011.

 

"It is great to see that there is a small decline in the number of websites that were hacked as well as the number of security breaches as compared to 2012. However, the point is to quickly reach a point where the number is negligible especially where critical data of the government is concerned, and for this there needs to be an army of cyber warriors with apt training ready to ward of all attacks. We hope by next year the situation gets even better and stronger" said Jay Bavisi, Global President, EC-Council.
