Indian embassy websites in seven different countries have been hacked, and attackers have leaked personal data, including full name, residential address, email address, passport number and phone number, of Indian citizens living abroad. Hackers exploited a simple vulnerability in the targeted websites in an effort to gain unauthorized access to the databases. This proves that a lot of people can not trust the “Embassy,” hackers told The Hacker News via email. India is fast becoming a strategic target because of the potentially sensitive information that is expected to be digitized through ambitious and high-profile projects such as Digital India.
