Operation Arachnophobia serves as an example of the benefits of cross-industry collaboration. Understanding why and how collaboration can be used as a modern security control assumes a certain level of maturity.
As organizations evolve their respective threat intelligence processes and programs, organizations must also seek to mature their ability to procedurally and programmatically aggregate, analyze and act on the threat intelligence they either develop organically or receive from other parties.

Abunasar Khan currently maintains abunasar. Abunasar Khan was observed conducting hacking activities as early as Muhammed Haroon and Hamza Qamar were both employed by Tranchulas at different times. Takeaways: Hamza Qamar was previously employed by Tranchulas. Hamza Qamar taught a web application hacking class with Muhammed Haroon in Takeaways: Pakbugs was an underground hacking forum.
In July , Five members of the Pakbugs were arrested by Pakistani authorities. PCA made an official statement in response to the Pakbugs arrests. PCA requested that Pakistani authorities be lenient with Pakbugs. Takeaways: Sana posts to the same Pakistani car forum as Abunasar Khan. Sana claims to be in Islamabad Pakistan. Conclusion: We cannot conclusively attribute the personas identified with the original Pakistan Cyber Army PCA defacement activity to the personas detailed in the Operation Arachnophobia research.
The alias Haroon may reference Muhammed Haroon a web security professional, previously associated with zero-day research and a former Tranchulas employee. Muhammed Haroon and Hamza Qamar were both employed at Tranchulas and were instructors for a web security and application hacking course in Members of the Pakistan Cyber Army maintained an unspecified relationship with members of Pakbugs. By defacing random websites is just like wall chalking. The idea of "Pakistan Cyber Army" was totally genuine and as mentioned in our previous messages comes with in 5 minutes.
We attacked the chain of schools of Indian Army "Kendriya Vidyalaya website kvrtm. We hacked "Indian Institute of Remote Sensing website iirs.
We hacked "Syscontech website syscontech. We hacked "Indian Railway Website indianrail. The website of Oil and Natural Gas Cooperation limited website was hacked "ongc. That was not the case. We defaced each and every thing in same industry and same stature and all of our defacements were targeted. Cyber war is a bigger term which means attacking on our IT infrastructure and make it impossible to recover. Pakistan Cyber Army Alhamdolillah has the capability to go far more then the website defacement if we are to retaliate and we have no such intention to attack.
Pakistan Cyber Army is for peace. We have many better things to do in Life. We are sleeping but not dead. If anyone, not only India, tries to damage our IT, Telecom and Defense infrastructure we have a right to again retaliate and give them the best of possible answers. I would like to mention Gaurav aka r45c4lh4ck3r from HMG. He is really a nice guy who made this deal possible. In the end we would like to clarify that we were not involved in the useless defacement of "Vijay Mallya" website.
Defacing website is a crime but to take it as threat to national security is similar to taking a knife as an atom bomb.
Our message to the young people is to concentrate on their studies and comes with something good for both of the countries. Do polish your skills if you want to be a hacker or are a hacker. There is a thin line between hacker and criminal.
The person who steals email, bank accounts, credit cards etc should be called as criminal not a hacker. So guys study well and make your parents happy. If you get arrested for doing website defacement, the first ones who will be disappointed and shocked will be your parents. Terrorism is a curse for the society that we live in. Our lives have changed irrevocably today because of the terrorism threats which surround all of us.
