NEW DELHI—Indian officials are investigating whether cyberattacks from China could have been behind a blackout in Mumbai last year.
State officials in Maharashtra, of which Mumbai is the capital, said Monday that an initial investigation by its cyber department found evidence that China could have been behind a power outage thatIt was the worst blackout in decades in India’s financial capital, stopping trains and prompting hospitals to switch to diesel powered generators.
Anil Deshmukh, home minister of the state, said officials were investigating a possible connection between the blackout and a surge in cyberattacks on the servers of the state power utilities. He wouldn’t single out China, but said investigators had found evidence of more than a dozen Trojan horse attacks as well as suspicious data transfers into the servers of state power companies.
“There were attempts to login to our servers from foreign land,” said Mr. Deshmukh. “We will investigate further.”

Thank God India doesn't blame Pakistan in technical errors

I can see the headline now in 2022 ‘ China to Build New Power Station’ in India, sneaky little bastards
Nothing to do with India's dodgy infrastructure and maintenance.
Whenever any government fk-s up, they just blame China. Lol 😂
I’m surprised the GOP hasn’t blamed blackouts in Texas on China.
If India moves towards a peaceful discussion over Kashmir issue then there will be no more internal and external threats to Indian sovereignity.
China seems to want to get in everyone's business... it's not going to be long before they start facing actual retaliation from these nations they are meddling with.
