Following Operation Sindoor, over 1.5 million Indian websites were targeted in cyber attacks carried out by Pakistani hackers, according to India’s Maharashtra Cyber division.

These attacks were reportedly conducted by seven different Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups and were aimed at key infrastructure sites in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror incident.

Indian media reports indicate that despite the large number of attempts, only around 150 attacks were successful. This translates to a very low success rate of just 0.01%, meaning nearly all attacks failed.

The APT groups involved in the operation include:

The report also reveals that these attacks were not limited to Pakistan alone. Hackers from Bangladesh, the Middle East, and Indonesia were also involved, according to Yashasvi Yadav, Additional Director General of Police, Maharashtra Cyber.
