ISIS
is luring Indian hackers with top dollar to hack into government websites and
steal sensitive data. Hackers are also being asked to identify and create a
database of potential recruits from Twitter and Facebook. For each 'job', a
hacker would be paid upwards of $10,000. This is by far the most lucrative
offer from the hacking community in India, experts say "There are various
underground communities online where hackers interact regularly. Our
investigation reveals that for the past six months, lucrative offers for stealing
government data came pouring in and hackers were offered a huge sum.
Such amount has never been offered to any Indian hacker before. We found that
the offers were being made to spread ISIS reach in the country," said
Kislay Choudhary, a cyber crime expert who works with several security
agencies. Stealing government data is part of ISIS' intelligence gathering
exercise and helps in formulating their India strategy, Choudhary added. ISIS
supporters are using Facebook and Twitter to propagate its radical ideology and
brainwash the youth. Experts believe many hackers have already picked up the
offer as over 30,000 have been reportedly contacted by the terror organisation
in India so far. The recruited hackers are communicating on internet-based
services like Skype, Silent Circle, Telegram, and WhatsApp with their Syrian
handlers, say experts. The active profiles on social media which are being used
to spread venom against India have increased manifold in the past few months.
