Pro-India Hackers Save the Day Online

Pro-India Cyber Defenders in Action

In today’s cyber news, we bring you a fascinating account from Hyderabad where pro-India hackers played a pivotal role during cross-border cyberattacks amid Operation Sindoor. While the spotlight often falls on traditional heroes in uniform, these digital protectors have silently safeguarded the nation’s cyberspace. Their deep understanding of advanced threat landscapes and quick response under pressure helped mitigate risks posed by international adversaries. Truly, not all heroes wear capes—some wear virtual armour as they defend our networks from unseen attackers.

Critical Vulnerability in FLIR AX8 Devices (CVE-2025-5126)

Another key story involves a critical vulnerability in FLIR AX8 systems up to version 1.46.16. The flaw, identified as CVE-2025-5126, affects the function setDataTime within a specific PHP settings file. In essence, the vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate date and time parameters (like year, month, day, hour, or minute) to execute remote command injections. With a severity rating of 8.8, the issue underscores the pressing need for prompt remediation—especially since the exploit has been publicly disclosed. Organisations using FLIR products are advised to be extra vigilant and consider taking protective measures to safeguard their systems.

Sony Security Camera Vulnerability Raises Concerns (CVE-2025-5124)

On a similar note, security researchers have flagged a critical vulnerability in several Sony security camera models, including SNC-M1, SNC-M3, among others, affecting systems up to version 1.30. Designated as CVE-2025-5124, this flaw stems from the use of default credentials within the camera’s administrative interface. Although the potential to exploit is remotely initiable, the attack’s complexity has been rated as high—with a severity score of 8.1. While the vendor has recognised the vulnerability and directed users to their ‘Hardening Guide’, this serves as a gentle reminder for users to update default settings and employ robust configurations to prevent unauthorised access.

Staying Ahead in a Dynamic Cyber Landscape

Today’s highlights remind us that cyber defence is not just about keeping pace with threats; it’s also about anticipating them. Whether it’s innovative hackers neutralising cross-border attacks or security experts flagging high-impact vulnerabilities, proactive measures are paramount.
