The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has issued a warning that Indian hackers are trying to steal data from Pakistani missions abroad.
Pakistani missions in Brunei, Nepal, Argentina and Azerbaijan have received virus-infected emails.
According to the PTA, the purpose of the attack is to steal data from consulates and spy.
The authority has directed diplomatic staff to deal with suspicious emails and train them in social engineering.
PTA said the hacker group sends malicious links and viruses through emails. The authority claimed that they send links to websites that look similar to official government websites and entice victims to click on them.
The authority has asked organizations to report email addresses involved in malicious activities and identify fake and suspicious websites.
