NADRA, that hosts Pakistan’s most critical database, has gone through
serious hack attempts originating from United States, reported Daily
Express.
It is still unclear if hack attempts were made by individuals or any US
State Agency as report lacks the mention of the responsible organization
for these alleged hacking attacks on NADRA.
Without citing any names, the report claims that an official of NADRA
confirmed the paper that among various other countries, attacks from
United States remains at top in numbers for hacking NADRA’s database.
Hacking attempts from Israel and India were also recorded.
Daily Express, while quoting the unnamed NADRA official, claims that
hack attempts on NADRA increased notably during near past, however,
NADRA is all set with security measures in place to ensure the
protection of its database.
Hacking attempts from United States account for 35% of total attacks
that NADRA received lately. Attacks from Israel and India contributed
20% each towards the total attacks on the database that contains the
private and sensitive information of each Pakistani.
NADRA official was confident that Pakistani data is secure and can not
be accessed by any individual or organization despite very organized
attacks.
