India on Thursday claimed it foiled an attempted cyber-attack by Chinese hackers targeting its power distribution system near a disputed frontier where the two countries are engaged in a military stand-off.
Ties between the world’s two most populous nations are at a low ebb after a deadly skirmish in the Himalayan region of Ladakh that left at least 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers dead in 2020.
“Two attempts by Chinese hackers were made to target electricity distribution centers near Ladakh but were not successful,” power minister R.K. Singh told reporters in New Delhi.

We are lucky this time but they, the Chinese will one day discover the holes and sabotage our power system unless and until India establish a good cyber defense system based on defense-in -depth strategy.
