The consequences of one’s account being hacked are big. Let’s say my computer is hacked. It will reveal my contact list, subjects of mail, thinking, and address list. Also, the information acquired from the account can lead to a chain effect whereby I mean the addresses from my account can be used further as they can also be subjected to hacking or damage. This also applies to cellphones.
It is a worst-kept secret that between 20000 and 30000 people in China are supposed to be involved in the task of hacking Cyber and communication networks. Also, a large number of people in China are doing it out of curiosity or they feel motivated to hack into other countries network out of a feeling of nationalism.
This problem is extremely serious. Even the United States has created a Cyber command which is responsible for defensive and offensive Cyber operations because Washington is wary of Chinese advancements in space and missile technology and Beijing’s bid to invade the Cyberspace. It resents more Chinese technological advancements in anti-space weapons, Cyber warfare and long-range anti-ship missile systems because they are the lynchpins of Chinese strategy to deny access to the US.
Chinese companies like Huawei are selling base stations and other critical infrastructure to our companies. Their reach is to the extent that one of the BSNL tenders was won by it and had to be cancelled. It is a very serious problem. We require recognising the seriousness of the situation and need to involve the private sector to dedicate manpower and resources to attain self-sufficiency. Also, we need to have our offensive capabilities so developed and planned that the enemy does not even dare to even think about harming our communication or Cyber network. We have to do all this without any delay.
