In a recent security incident, the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) of India, with the official website drdo.gov.in, fell victim to a ransomware attack attributed to the cybercriminal group known as Babuk2. This breach has raised significant concerns regarding the protection of sensitive defense-related information, as DRDO plays a crucial role in the country’s defense research and development efforts.
