Cybersecurity threats have increasingly become prevalent in Pakistan, with the country experiencing a surge in cybercrime, espionage, and cyber warfare.  

This has resulted in a number of hacker groups targeting the country’s vital infrastructure, including power and energy systems, military and government networks, and financial institutions. 

Pakistan Cyber attacks: Why is the country being targeted? 

The use of technology in Pakistan’s electrical power infrastructure has become an essential aspect of contemporary society, enabling the efficient management and distribution of electricity.

However, it also escalates the potential ramifications of a cyber-attack on these systems without adequate security measures 

The potential consequences of a cyber-attack on these systems are often overlooked and undervalued due to a lack of awareness and understanding of the potential risks and a lack of investment and resources devoted to cybersecurity. 

As Pakistan continues to expand its cyber environment and engage in the global IT market, it must take cybersecurity seriously to prevent further attacks on its vital infrastructure.  

It is vital that organizations in Pakistan prioritize cybersecurity by investing in cybersecurity resources and training their employees to mitigate the risks of cyber-attacks. 

 In the absence of such measures, cyber threats will continue to threaten the country’s economic stability and security significantly.
