The government has asked all public and private organisations to be on alert for possible cyberattacks on 15 August following threats from some hacktivist groups earlier this week.

Warning of possible disruption to IT operations and businesses, the Computer Incident Response Team (BGD e-GOV CIRT) has advised all organisations to take the required precautions to protect their infrastructures.

The hacker groups have been targeting organisations from Pakistan, and Bangladesh, it stated.

In recent research, the team identified several groups with the same motivation. They have been incessantly conducting frequent cyber-attacks against organisations in Bangladesh affecting its operations and businesses.

The hacker groups have been targeting organisations from Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

The Computer Incident Response Team also identified several groups with the same motivation. They have been incessantly conducting frequent cyber-attacks against organisations in Bangladesh affecting its operations and businesses.

The groups' primary attack tactics include, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, website defacements, compromising the website and using malicious PHP shells as a backdoor to drop payloads.

Top targeted organisation type are gov't and military, law enforcement agencies, banks and non-bank financial institutions, pharmaceuticals, retail and industrial organisations, energy and education sectors.

Recent notable activities targeting Bangladesh

• On 1 August, a hacker group claimed a cyber-attack on Payment Gateway in Bangladesh and Law enforcement and banking organisations.
• On 3 July, a hacker group claimed a DDoS attack on Bangladeshi transportation service for 1 hour making the website unavailable for the mentioned time.
• On 27 June, a hacker group defaced the website of a Bangladesh government college and shared a web archive supporting their claims.
• On 24 June, a hacker group defaced the website of a Bangladesh health organization and shared a web archive supporting their claims.
• On 21 June, the group claimed a DDoS attack on the website of Bangladeshi military organisations.
• On 20 June, the group claimed to compromise Bangladesh's state-owned investment company, and exfiltrated data of over 100,000 investors and investment applicants. The threat group shared a single screenshot as proof of compromise and planned to release the data after successful exfiltration.

The Computer Incident Response Team has requested all organisations in Bangladesh to take the following measures to ensure their infrastructures' security:
Ensure strict network and user activity monitoring 24/7, especially during non-office hours, and watch out for any indication of data exfiltration.

Ensure implementing load balancer solutions to ensure that no single server is overwhelmed during an attack.

Deploy a Web Application Firewall to analyze incoming HTTP/HTTPS traffic and filter out malicious requests and traffic patterns commonly associated with DDoS attacks.

Ensure vital services such as DNS, NTP as well as network middleboxes are securely configured and are not exposed on the internet.

Validate and sanitize all user input to prevent malicious code injection (e.g., SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting) that could lead to web defacement.

Perform regular backups of your website's content and database. In the event of defacement, having up-to-date backups enables you to restore your website quickly.

Enforce HTTPS on your website with SSL/TLS encryption. This helps protect data during transmission and prevents attackers from tampering with website content in transit.

Keep all web server software, content management systems (CMS), plugins, and other software components up-to-date with the latest security patches.

@IndianLite Great bangalee muslims , the first to be enslaved by the brits thanks to the likes of mir jafar and mir qasim. And you claim that hindus became lackeys of the brits the truth is that bengalee muslims , most notably mir jafar helped the white man take over what is today called swampland where the rivers reek of organic waste

Why only Mir Jafar? There were also Hindu guys who helped the Brits. Umi Chad, Roy Durlav, Raj Ballav to name a few.

Why do you include Mir Qasim in your list of betrayers? It was just the opposite.

Yes, his troops captured the Nawab from Dan Shah’s cottage. But, he was just following orders from his superior, General Mir Zafar. Mir Qasim was not one of the conspirators. Mir Zafar, his father-in-law was.

Later, after replacing Mir Zafar, he moved the Capital from Murshidabad to Patna/ Munger because all the Palaces there had big ears for the Britishers.

He captured the main conspirators, Raja Rajballav, Raja Roy Durlav, and others (a total of four), put them into jute sacks and dropped them into the river below his fort in Munger.

He abolished taxes for the local traders that angered the British. They alone were enjoying tax exempt status.

Siraj-us-Dowla was unpopular but the acts of Mir Qasim made him popular. The combined troops of Mir Qasim, Sujauddoula of Audh and Emperor Shah Alam ll of Delhi were defeated by the British troops at the Battle of Buxar with the help of 10,000 troops sent by Mir Zafar.

Bengal lost independence at the Battle of Buxar in 1764 and not at Plassey in 1757 and the Battle of Bedara in 1759.

Mir Qasim was a real patriot and hero. Our problem is we completely believe in the drama record composed by D. L. Roy. We think it is the history and not a drama.

We cry for Shiraj who was a filthy person, but hardly give credit to Mir Qasim. Most of us do not know about the accounts that I have written here.

Bengali Muslims made a stupid mistake by entrusting the military to a Bihari.

Biharis are untrustworthy. They also betrayed Bengali Muslims in 1971. But this time Bengali Muslims taught them a tough lesson.

Anyway, at the end of the day, Bengali Muslims are the only ethnic group to have their own nation.

Have to stop these Hinduvta turds from writing fake history.

Bangladesh needs to regain its Sultanate history.

The only reason we became, enslaved by the brits, was previously the sultanate wanted to make peace with his Hindu neighbouring province.

I think he sacrificed or gave 15,000 soldiers to make peace. It severely weakened bengal.

You short sighted, Hindus sat there watching and laughing the first great battle and fall of South asian. That's was bengal. To after that the rest of South asian fall.

Blaming hindus for your own defeat ? Still salty about how the ahoms kicked you black and blue ? You were the first to be enslaved by the white man, it took them another 90 years to defeat Sikhs and Marathas but y'all crumbled like a house of cards in a single battle while the marathas fought 3 wars over 40 years, mysore fought 4 wars over 30 years and the sikhs fought 2 wars! Your entire history is full of people like siraj ud daullah and Mir Jafar, spent 190 years as slaves of the english and another 24 years as slaves of Punjabis and Pashtuns and now you finally got your land which will probably be under water thanks to global warming. What a glorious history y'all have !

Where do you find Bihari in Bengal? Bihar, a part of Orissa and a little part of Assam were part of Bengal Province.

You are denying the history. But, who is this Nihari you are telling? Is it Mir Zafar? No, you are wrong. Both Mir Zafar and Aliwardy Khan were Delhi Muslim whose forefathers came to Delhi from Persia.

They left thorny Delhi and moved to Orissa from where they moved to Murshidabad when Murshidkuli Khan was the Nawab an uncle of zaliwardy.

Long story short. Aliwardy Khan killed Malik Sarfarax Khan, his mentor, in a battle and became the new Nawab in 1740.

I do not know what DL Roy said but this was the main reason that Bengal was finally subdued by the British. Aliwardy Khan was the first of a series of traitors.

By the way, can someone tell me other than Ganesh Dynasty which one else was a local dynasty? Many Muslims migrated from Afghanistan, Central Asia, Persia, Delhi and Punjab and domiciled here.

Bengali, Bihari or Delhiwala were no different. Who settled in Delhi is Delhiwala and whoever settled in Bengal is a Bengali,!

Ami chand was business man he had nothing to do with state , his business was all over the north India through the mratha , sikh , and oudh territory , all others were servants of no value , this was all muslim traitors who killed mir qasim in cold blood on orders of miran even after promising mir qasim that he will not be killed . muslim history is full of killing own family members. All muslim historians glorify killings of own family members . Violence and bloodshed is hardwired in Arab history which you inherited .

Laughing whilst shooting yourself in the foot. Allowing one of the worst thing in the whole of asian history to force their way in next to you. A permanent base.

Bengal would have beaten the colonial powers if it wasn't for that traitor. They hyper focused on bengal as it was the richest part of South asia

So dum, and short sightedness bengal at the time was resource rich, good production facilities.

It gave them a good base, including resources and funds to launch attacks onto.

They literally took over on of the richest provinces of the world that accounted fir 12% of the worlds gdp.

Remember, Bengal Sultanate was also under constant attack from the thieves of Maratha.

The Maratha’s were the Pholon Devi of that era.

Bengal sultanate should have meted out harsh sharia punishment on them.

Maratha’s would loot and ransack villages at night.

Maratha's who they? Don't know much about them.

I do know the sultanate wanted to make peace with a neighbouring province that was Hindu dominated.

It meant he had to disband or sacrifice 15-20,000 soldier. Even today that's a lot of troops .

Back then world pop being. Might be the equivalent of 200,000 k troopers. Not to sure just a wild guess.

When the brit were launching against bengal, the sultanate had man power trooper shortage AT the time as well.

At the time bengal was known for producing good very quickly that includes for armed forces. It had a lot of of people and skilled workers .

Muslims history is full of Mir Jafars , English Army of 1500 soldiers comprising mostly of rajputs , brahmins and few Muslims of UP and Bihar defeated two lakh muslims , even today you can find Mir Jafars selling for dollars .

Maratha's who they? Don't know much about them.

Marathas were hindu warriors who fought for 300 years and uprooted and threw away muslim rule from India and established hindu rashtra .
