Hackers Weaponize Balochistan Police Portal in Multi-Group Espionage Campaigns

Cybersecurity researchers documented sustained cyber espionage campaigns targeting Pakistani law enforcement agencies, particularly the Balochistan Police, attributed to China- and India-aligned threat actors between February 2024 and April 2026. Attackers compromised servers hosting web applications that manage police and citizen data, including criminal records and related information.

Why it matters: Pakistani law enforcement and any organization sharing data with these agencies faces exposure of sensitive criminal records and citizen information; practitioners should review access logs and assess whether their systems connect to these compromised platforms.

Hackers Weaponize Balochistan Police Portal in Multi-Group Espionage Campaigns

Researchers disclosed sustained cyber espionage targeting multiple Pakistani law‑enforcement agencies, attributing the activity to suspected China‑ and India‑aligned threat actors. The campaign, observed from February 2024 through April 2026, compromised Balochistan Police servers that host web applications for police and citizen records. Investigators noted that the compromised assets included systems handling criminal and personal data.

Why it matters: Pakistani law-enforcement agencies, particularly Balochistan Police, face exposure of police and citizen data via compromised web-application servers and should audit and harden those portals.
