A few key findings are as follows:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over 10% of domains in Indian states do not have the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption\u2014a basic security protocol layer. Without the SSL encryption, hackers and threat groups can mount attacks easily and intercept sensitive data.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hundreds of highly sensitive protocols are currently exposed to the internet. These are the most vulnerable and popular exposures threat actors seek. We found 293 instances of the SSH protocol and 67 instances of the FTP exposed to the internet.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, 700+ credentials with passwords from all state domains leaked onto the deep and dark web, making these domains extremely vulnerable to phishing attacks, credential misuse, and impersonation.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The investigation also found 537 instances of ransomware exposure, which makes the domains extremely vulnerable to ransomware attacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen basic cyber hygiene is ignored, it leaves governments and organizations extremely vulnerable to cyberattacks,\u201d said Srinivas Mukkamala, Chief Product Officer at Ivanti. \u201cAll organizations and governments must remain vigilant when shoring up their cyber defenses\u2014this is especially true for cyber hygiene. Together with our partners at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Securin Inc.,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we will continue to highlight areas of improvement for governments and organizations to protect against ransomware attacks.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.securin.io\/ransomware\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a02023 Spotlight Report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> released last month, there has been a staggering 503% increase in ransomware attacks globally since 2019. The report also revealed that 76% of vulnerabilities being exploited by ransomware groups were actually discovered before 2020, highlighting that attackers still rely on old tactics that continue to be effective. This highlights the critical importance of paying close attention to cyber hygiene practices and implementing effective security measures to safeguard against these types of attacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIndia saw the highest number of cyberattacks on government agencies in 2022, which highlights that cyber hygiene cannot be ignored,\u201d said Ram Movva, Co-Founder and Chairman of Securin Inc. \u201cThe government sector was the third most attacked industry in 2022, and we are seeing a sharp increase in the number of attacks being deployed on Indian organizations and government entities. Organizations must continuously strengthen their security posture, and the first step to that is knowing where your weaknesses are.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can read more of the findings from our examination <\/span><a href=\"\/examining-the-attack-surface-of-indian-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0059203 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"0059203\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5f75cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a5f75cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>About Securin Inc.<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Securin Inc. helps customers gain resilience against evolving threats.
