According to Radware, Pakistan has been one of the most frequently attacked countries, primarily by Indian hacktivists, including Hacktivist Vanguard.[1] ProPakistani reported that Hacktivist Vanguard, along with Team UCC , Error 404 , claimed responsibility for cyber-attacks on Pakistan’s .gov.pk domain and critical websites in the government, defense, aviation, and banking sectors.[2]
