Canada Predicts Hacking From India as Diplomatic Feud Escalates (bloomberg.com)

(Wednesday October 30, 2024 @12:44PM (msmash) from the escalating-tensions dept.)


Canada is [1]bracing for Indian government-backed hacking as the two nations' diplomatic relationship nosedives to its lowest ebb in a generation. From a report:

> "We judge that official bilateral relations between Canada and India will very likely drive Indian state-sponsored cyber threat activity against Canada," the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security said in its annual threat report published Wednesday, adding that such hackers are probably already conducting cyber-espionage.

>

> This month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet and Canadian police have ramped up a remarkable campaign of public condemnations against India, accusing Narendra Modi's officials of backing a wave of violence and extortion against Canadians on Canadian soil -- particularly those who agitate for carving out a separate Sikh state in India called Khalistan. India has rejected the accusations and believes some Khalistan activists to be terrorists harbored by Canada.

If only he was; he wouldn't have invited in hundreds of thousands of them in over the last few years, and the "separatist" problem would remain in India.

I don't think it's racist to think that the BJP is a undemocratic, nationalist, authoritarian party, with its leader Modi being only marginally better than the average member.

Their preferred technique is to rig the media via regulations, threats and disinformation rather than to rig the actual polling stations, and their information operations do not stop at the Indian border. And not just disinformation. Are they above [1]plotting to kill Sikh separatists in North America? [youtube.com] Well, the evidence there looks so

...Canada has a problem. Canada is arguable the most peaceful nation on this planet. They wouldn't pick a fight with a flea.

Modi is an asshole and dictator-wannabe, jailing and threatening opposition and the press on trumped-up charges, and treating Muslims like shit to kiss up to majority religion. I'm hesitant to classify India as a "democracy" because Modi controls so much.

It's nothing to do with Canada. Trudeau is shit-disturbing to distract from the green slush fund scandal, the leadership coup attempt, and whatever other scandals are in the offing.
