Cybercriminals from countries like Pakistan, China, Bangladesh and the US are mostly involved in hacking and launching attacks on computer networks of Indian organisations, Parliament was informed in New Delhi.
Minister for Communications and Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad said attackers are compromising computer systems in different parts of the world and use masquerading techniques and hidden servers to hide the identity of actual systems from which the attacks are launched.
"In such cases, Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) notifies the concerned organisation regarding the cyber-attacks and requests for logs of network devices, servers and other related components for analysing the attacks and identifying sources of attack," he said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
Analysis of attack methology is done based on available log provided by the organisations, he added.
"According to the logs as analysed and made available to CERT-In, the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of the computers from where the attacks originated belong to the countries including the US, Europe, Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, Brazil, Turkey, Iran, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Algeria and the UAE," he said.
Prasad said there has been a rise in the incidents of cyber-attacks in the past years with increase in the proliferation of IT and related services.
"The trend in increase in cyber-attacks is similar to that worldwide. A total number of 22,060, 71,780, 1,30,338, and 49,504 cyber-security incidents including phishing, scanning, spam, malicious code, website intrusion etc were reported to CERT-In during the year 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 (up to May), respectively," he said.
The Minister said a total of 27,605 and 28,481 websites were hacked by various hacker groups during the year 2012 and 2013, respectively.
"In the year 2014 and 2015 (upto May), the total number of security incidents includes the websites hacked by various hacker groups as 32,323 and 9,057, respectively," he added.

By Parth Makadiya I reviewed  PowerSuite set of tools in a previous post and am adding further information about their evolution through the years as part of a sponsored post series. We’ve all heard the old saying “The only thing that stays the same is that everything changes”. And in the online marketing industry, change has always been the name of the game. From staying on top of the zoo Google keeps throwing at us, to dodging curve balls from Facebook Ads, to figuring out each new social platform that pops up – if you aren’t flexible, then online marketing may not be for you. As our industry continuously shifts, the tools we use must change and adapt just as fast. Through out all the changes, one tool set has continued to help SEO experts attain higher rankings, increase traffic, and spy on their competition. We know them now as  SEO PowerSuite . Yet, this tool set has evolved over the last ten years. It’s fun to look back on where you’ve come through the waves of Goog

     We share our lives on Facebook. We share our birthdays and our anniversaries. We share our vacation plans and locations. We share the births of our sons and the deaths of our fathers. We share our most cherished moments and our most painful thoughts. We divulge every aspect of our lives. We even clamor to see the  latest versions even before they're ready  for primetime. But we sometimes forget who's watching. We use Facebook as a tool to connect, but there are those people who use that connectivity for malicious purposes. We reveal what others can use against us.

People can practically steal our identities—and that's just with the visible information we purposely give away through our public Facebook profile. The scariest part is that as we get more comfortable with advances in technology, we actually become more susceptible to hacking. A
