Military officers were found to have violated cyber security standards, according to intelligence agencies. This behaviour is thought to be tied to espionage by a neighbouring country. As per defence sources, ‘the Military and Intelligence agencies have found a cyber security breach by some military officers, which is believed to be linked to espionage-related actions by a neighbouring nation,’ in response to ANI’s report on the cyber security breach. According to defence officials, there has also been a breach detected on particular WhatsApp groups.
‘An inquiry, which was swiftly requested, is underway,’ stated one source on the topic of action.
