This is an awareness news for Indian cyber users to get stronger with their system and network securities. After Mumbai Attacks on 26/11 and the increased tensions between the two Asian territories, it is expected that anti-Indian activists and hackers at Pakistan and all over world are planning to run the cross cyber-attack on Indian computer networks by means of the popular websites registered there.
This is not a new issue of cyber-war between India and Pakistan. Whenever relations go worse they start attacking Indian computer networks and this has increased after the famous Mumbai terror attacks. This was said by the source from home ministry of India. Already Pakistani hackers are trying out a dry run against Indian networks through popular websites registered there.
Pakistani hackers have created websites such as the www.Songs.Pk, which are infested with software to hack data from the targeted computers, sources from Home Ministry,India said.
“The website www.Songs.Pk has over 12 lakh Indian users who download stuffs like free MP3 bollywood songs and wallpapers and more from these websites on daily basis,” said a cyber expert in the Ministry.
And hence, its very true that with these sites very much popular, it will take few minutes for the hackers to get control over 12 lakh Indian user’s pc or more via means of vulnerable contents added with the downloading stuffs.
“Instead of the existing less harmful virus, new ones such as Botnet and Zoombie can be easily released into the Indian computers, which later on replicate and make the entire server vulnerable,” the expert said.
“Now a days new virus and worms are detected while downloading songs from these websites, which could be just a dry run to manage a bigger attack,” he said.
I even tried to get some more informations regarding this issue and found it true to an extend. Below is the snap-shot showing security property of a song downloaded from the site. Just have a look.
No doubt I am too an Indian and a regular user of this concerned website. Some days back this security alert was not seen in the downloaded content. But now here is the proof above with date and timings. Indian government’s websites have proved to be vulnerable in the past. ” Most of the times such cases are not reported as the servers are based in Pakistan and we cannot do anything in this regard as said by expert.
The condition may become more worst as these newly intruded viruses cannot be detected by antiviruses as their databases may not have their informations for the quick heal as its totally of new type, resulting their intrudence in our networks. So I can just say that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. So Indian users dont download stuffs from www.songs.pk . Its better to find alternates for downloading such contents. I will be updating my blog if I come to know of more such type of vulnerable websites which may be insecure to our networks and systems.

Yeah its true, there are some tension lying between the Pakistan and India cyber scenario, song.pk is per day visit is 154303 per day and 80 % of this visit comes from the Indian territory. So this is advisable to all net user not to allow the pop-up to run and one thing more use the most secure browser “Mozilla Firefox”. Su that and be careful the crooks can any time exploit your PC”s

Thanks Vikash for your more added information for the related post. Yeah, we should take more secured steps for securing our systems over internet. One of my friend said that the songs.pk adds some such vulnerable installable contents which installs in PC hidden and later helps in remote desktop with their main servers. Thus they can have direct controls over our systems and networks. This is really very insecure. I have already given up surfing this site.
