The Indian Army has issued a stern advisory to citizens, cautioning them against responding to or engaging with WhatsApp messages originating from Pakistani phone numbers. The advisory comes in response to recent reports of a surge in malicious communications targeting individuals in the country.
According to intelligence reports, several Pakistani phone numbers have been identified as the sources of these suspicious messages. The content of these messages ranges from inflammatory propaganda to attempts at phishing and spreading misinformation.
A senior official from the Indian Army, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated that the objective behind these messages is to create panic and disrupt peace in the region. The Army believes that hostile elements are behind this campaign, attempting to exploit the popular messaging platform to sow discord among citizens.
While specific details about the nature of these messages have not been disclosed for security reasons, the advisory urges the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious communications from unknown or suspicious Pakistani numbers to the authorities immediately.
Citizens are also encouraged not to share or forward any messages that appear dubious in nature, as doing so could inadvertently spread misinformation and contribute to the objectives of the perpetrators.
The advisory further emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity and urges users to exercise caution while interacting with unknown contacts on social media and messaging platforms. It advises individuals to verify the authenticity of information before sharing it with others.
The Indian Army has been actively monitoring online activities and is working in collaboration with other security agencies to thwart any attempts to disrupt peace and security in the country.
This advisory serves as a reminder for citizens to remain cautious and vigilant in the face of increasing digital threats and attempts to exploit online platforms for malicious purposes. By staying informed and adopting responsible online behavior, individuals can play a crucial role in safeguarding the nation’s cybersecurity and countering nefarious activities.
Authorities are continuing their investigations into the origin of these suspicious messages, and further updates will be issued as the situation develops.
In conclusion, the Indian Army urges citizens to prioritize national security and adhere to the advisory, helping to create a safer digital environment for all residents of the country.
