Delhi Police website down during G20 Summit 2023
By MYBRANDBOOK
Delhi Police and Mumbai Police websites crashed amid cybersecurity threats during the ongoing G20 Summit 2023. Delhi Police website is now back up after a duration of 10 minutes. Both the websites showed the error message “This service isn’t available”.
The Delhi Police website is down for the second consecutive day. Loading the website will give you the error, "The service is unavailable." The website was down for 10 minutes on Friday.
As per Threat intelligence platform, Falcon Feed, “Team Insane PK hackers group” have claimed to have targeted the website. It has also posted a screenshot of the Telegram chat confirming the same.
The cyber threats come at a time when India is preparing to host the G20 Leaders' Summit in Delhi on November 30-December 1, 2023. The summit is expected to be attended by leaders of the world's 20 largest economies, and security is being tightened across the country.
The Delhi Police website has been restored, but the police have not said what caused the outage or who was responsible for the cyber threats. They have, however, warned people to be careful about clicking on links or opening attachments in emails from unknown senders.
Experts suspects that it is A DDoS attack, short for "Distributed Denial-of-Service attack," constitutes a cybercriminal act where the assailant inundates a server with a high volume of internet traffic. This deliberate action aims to disrupt access to connected online services and websites for legitimate users.
The G20 Summit is a major security challenge for India, and the cyber threats are a reminder of the risks involved. The police have said that they are taking the threats seriously and are working to mitigate the risks.
