Bykea, a popular ride-hailing app in Pakistan, was targeted by malicious Indian hackers on June 13, 2023. The hackers sent notifications to Bykea users with messages cursing at Pakistan. The smartphone app also showed the same message, but it was still fully usable.
The hackers’ messages were in Hindi and Urdu, and they included insults and threats against Pakistan. The messages also contained links to malicious websites. Bykea quickly responded to the attack and took steps to secure its systems. The company also apologized to its users for the inconvenience.
The attack on Bykea is the latest in a series of cyberattacks against Pakistani businesses and government entities. In recent years, there has been a growing number of cyberattacks originating from India. These attacks are often motivated by political or religious tensions between the two countries.
The attack on Bykea is a reminder of the growing threat of cyberattacks. Businesses and government entities need to be prepared for these attacks and take steps to protect their systems.
