Indian hackers hacked emails of top Pakistani officials: report

 According to an investigative report by the British newspaper Sunday Times and the non-governmental organization Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a group of Indian hackers has spied on the personal emails and conversations of Pakistani politicians, military officials and diplomats.

According to the report, the hackers have targeted the emails of dozens of high-profile Pakistani officials on the orders of the Indian intelligence agency.

According to the investigative report, private investigators attached to the economic hub of the City of London used a group of computer hackers from India to spy on British businessmen, government officials and journalists.

The Sunday Times newspaper and the non-governmental organization Bureau of Investigative Journalism have access to the database of the group of Indian hackers, which has revealed that it has carried out unusual cyber attacks.

The database revealed that hackers targeted more than a hundred private email accounts at the behest of dictatorial governments, British lawyers and their wealthy clients.

According to the report, the hackers apparently hacked the computers of Pakistani politicians, generals and diplomats on the orders of the Indian intelligence agency and also spied on their personal communications.

Former President General Pervez Musharraf is also included among the top officials of Pakistan.

Hackers had also hacked the email account of Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Fawad Chaudhry on January 10 this year when he was performing his duties as the Information Minister.

"Hackers hacked the former information minister's computers with malware and targeted embassies in Beijing, Shanghai and Kathmandu, in addition to top generals," the report said.

This is the first time that the media has been given access to the internal affairs of a hacking-for-hire group that has exposed multiple criminal conspiracies.

This hacking group named 'WhiteInt' runs all its operations from an apartment in Gurugram, a city adjacent to the capital of India, New Delhi.

The mastermind of the hacking gang is 31-year-old Aditya Jain, who also works in India for British accountancy firm Delight.

Aditya Jain has been running a hacking network for seven years, hired by British private detectives to hack email accounts.

Aditya Jain's team used spying software to gain control of the computer cameras and microphones of the individuals concerned, which allowed them to monitor their movements in addition to listening to their conversations.
