E-Mail Bombing:Email bombing refers to sending a large amount of e-mails to the victim resulting in interruption in the victims’ e-mail account or mail servers.

Data Diddling:

This kind of an attack involves altering the raw data just before it is processed by a computer and then changing it back after the processing is completed.

Denial of Service:This involves flooding computer resources with more requests than it can handle. This causes the resources to crash thereby denying authorized users the service offered by the resources.

Cyber War

For the Indian and Pakistani kids, cyber space is the new war front and August presumably the appropriate time for their reign of cyber terror.

Pakistani Hackers hack Indian websites and in return they hack some of Pakistan’s.

The cyber war between India and Pakistan started in May 1998, when Pakistani hackers attacked Bhabha Atomic Research Center’s website to somehow proclaim their technological supremacy. In November 2010, a group called ‘The Indian cyber army defaced a number of important Pakistani national websites, including that of the Pakistan Army in their efforts to avenge the Mumbai attacks.

And throughout the year these geniuses continue to hack websites in the name of national pride.

It seems evident that the cyber war between Pakistan and India is not state-sponsored, but state agencies have emerged as constant victims of cyber-attacks over the years. cybercrime is now being considered as an effective way of expressing patriotism.Youth of both countries should try to use their efforts in positive sense.
