Synopsis
The home minister on Monday said the massive power outage in Mumbai on October 12 last year may have been the result of a cyber sabotage as he cited a probe report of the state s Cyber Cell.
All states should remain alert if foreign companies are planning cyber attack on Indian infrastructure, Deshmukh said.
After a US firm claimed a Chinese government-linked group of hackers targeted India s critical power grid system through malware, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Tuesday said Union Power Minister R K Singh spoke to him over the issue and stressed on the need to remain vigilant.
