TEHRAN (Kashmir English): Iran is investigating Indian IT and software firms working within the nation on charges of having granted backdoor access to Israel during the current hostilities between the two countries.
This investigation has created major concerns about data leakage and security consequences at a number of key Iranian facilities, such as airports and passport authorities, that use software and applications made by Indian firms.
The probe indicates that Israel could have acquired sensitive digital information from these Indian firms, which might have been used in directed action against Iranian nuclear experts.
The charges have raised concerns regarding the susceptibility of Iranian institutions employing Indian-developed software and the risks posed to national security through compromised security.
The Iran-Israel conflict has already witnessed a substantial escalation in cyber warfare, with both countries resorting to hacking and data theft activities.
The findings of this inquiry have the potential to have significant consequences for Iran’s diplomatic relations with India and other countries, as well as its cyber and national defense policies.
The Iranian media is following the events closely, emphasizing the possible implications of such supposed violations and the necessity for increased scrutiny of foreign technology firms with activities in the country.
While the investigation progresses, only time will tell how Iran will respond to these issues and what actions it will take regarding its national security interests.
