the Uttarakhand Police Department faced a major cyber attack that crippled many of its operations for several days. Key services, including the uploading of FIRs and functioning of the Chief Minister’s helpline, were disrupted, causing significant delays in service delivery. The cyberattack targeted the police’s online infrastructure, threatening the safety of sensitive data and documents.
The IT Development Agency (ITDA) worked diligently to restore the systems, and the Uttarakhand Police requested help from neighboring states to improve cybersecurity measures and prevent further attacks. This cyber attack highlighted the increasing vulnerability of government systems and emphasized the need for stronger cybersecurity protocols within police departments across the nation.
