Indian officials are working to restore the websites of seven Indian embassies in Europe and Africa that were hacked and had data dumped online. The security of the websites of Indian embassies in Italy, Switzerland, South Africa, Libya, Malawi, Mali, and Romania was breached by hackers who identified themselves as Kaputsky and Kasimierz L. The External Affairs Ministry spokesman, Vikas Swarup, said, “We are aware of the problem and are trying to fix it.” Attempts are being made to track the IP addresses of the hackers, who posted online the names, email addresses, phone numbers, and passport numbers of some embassy staff members. Several Indian websites have come under attack this year, with Pakistan-based hackers targeting more than 7,000 Indian websites after India launched a series of attacks on terror camps in Pakistan. In October, the security of around 3.2 million debit cards in India was breached when hackers inserted malware through an ATM network.
