Cyber-securing ‘powerful’ India using a distract-learn-secure strategy

The early hours of 9/11 of 2019 brought in a report that at least 30 cyber-attacks were attempted, every day, on the Power Sector of India. Two years down the line, the Government of India acknowledged that four Regional Load Dispatch Centres were under a massive cyber-attack. Even though unsuccessful within the Power Sector as of yet, one cannot avoid noticing the recent successful cyber-attack on Oil India that shut down all systems at their headquarters and came in with a price label of $7.5 million (approx. Rs 57 crores).
