The Uttarakhand Police has registered a case against an unidentified person who allegedly hacked into the state’s Information Technology Development Agency (ITDA) server and demanded a ransom. An FIR under section 308(4)(extortion) of the BNS and 65/66/66C of the IT Act has been registered at the Cyber Crime police station here against the unidentified hacker in connection with the incident, Inspector General of Police (Crime and Law and Order) Nilesh Anand Bharne said.

However, there was no data loss as the affected government websites were quickly restored by the IT experts, he said, adding an SIT probe has also been ordered into the cyber attack.

The matter came to notice when a technical team was working on resolving complaints related to Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) on October 2, Bharne said.

When ITDA was informed about this, a message (notepad) related to hacking was being displayed in every folder of its server in which the accused gave a mail ID for contact and a message related to providing data safely after payment of ransom, the IGP said.

Senior Superintendent of Police, Special Task Force, Navneet Singh has constituted an SIT to probe the case, he said.

The police team has successfully recovered various digital logs, evidence preservation system and virus file from the spot, he said.

Various central agencies, including I4C, NIA, CERT-IN, NCIIPC, etc. are assisting in the investigation, Bharne said.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
