In a development that has sent shockwaves through international cyber defense communities, unverified sources have claimed that India allegedly launched an advanced Artificial Intelligence-powered cyber attack on multiple Pakistani digital infrastructures late last night.
According to reports circulating on underground forums and social media, the AI-driven offensive, dubbed โOperation ChakraStorm,โ targeted Pakistanโs power grid, railway signaling systems, and even manipulated local weather forecasting systems to display Bollywood movie quotes instead of temperature updates.
Officials in Pakistan have neither confirmed nor denied the breach but have acknowledged โunusual activityโ across several digital systems. โAt approximately 02:30 AM, we observed intelligent anomalies in our systemsโlike our banking AI wishing users a happy Holi with dancing peacocks,โ said a senior IT official who requested anonymity.
Cybersecurity analysts claim the attack marks a new era of algorithmic warfare. โThis wasnโt just a DDoS or ransomware attack. The AI seemed to learn in real-time, adapting its tactics and even trolling system admins with memes,โ said Dr. Azfar Mehmood, a cyber defense expert in Lahore.
Indiaโs Ministry of External Affairs dismissed the allegations as โscience fiction.โ However, anonymous insiders suggest that Indiaโs rumored quantum AI projectโโAshwatthamaโโmay have played a role.
Meanwhile, Pakistani social media is ablaze with speculation. A now-viral tweet shows a hacked highway sign flashing the message: โGet Ready for Lagaan 2.โ
Global observers worry this may spark a new digital arms race in South Asia. The United Nations has called for โcalm and a patch update.โ
