Anti-Indian groups in Pakistan are planning to attack Indian computer networks, according to Indian intelligence agencies.

According to the Daily Times Monitor, the Indian Home Ministry claims that that Pakistani hackers will be trying out a dry run against Indian networks any day now.

The hackers created websites such as www.Songs.Pk, which are infested with software to hack data from the targeted computers, the ministry claims.

Songs.Pk has more than 1.2 million Indian users who are downloading stuff from these websites daily. If all of them download the hacking software, that could turn 1.2 million Indian computers into a botnet that could be used to target Indian institutions.

The Home Ministry claims that the information comes from its agents in the field, although it could equally have come from anti-piracy advocates from the music industry. We visited the site and couldn't find any files with viruses in them. It also seems unusual that a professional and expensive looking pirate site that depends on advertising would be used in such a way. 

The Home Ministry press release also evokes the Mumbai attacks, even though those were not cyber attacks. X
