India is seeking Interpol's help to catch two hacker groups called 'Dragon force Malaysia' and 'Hacktivist Indonesia' which initiated a cyber war against New Delhi, according to the DCP of the cyber crime department of Ahmedabad Police.
The two groups have appealed to Muslim hackers from across the world to join them in their attack, which comes after a former spokeswoman for Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nupur Sharma's controversial comments about Prophet Mohammad.
A lookout notice for both groups has been issued for both the groups which hacked over 2,000 websites.
Calling for attacks on government websites, DragonForce had launched an attack called OpsPatuk or “strike back” against India which was discovered by Bengaluru-based cyber security firm CloudSEK.
The group shared Indian users’ social media credentials, including usernames and passwords, to enable others to launch attacks.
