China capable of launching cyber attacks against India: General Bipin Rawat

Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat on April 07 said China is capable of launching cyber attacks against India and disrupt large amount of our systems. "Over years, a capability differential has come in (b/w India and China).

China has invested a lot of funds to imbibe technology and they have a lead over us.

We're evolving technologies to come at par but the biggest differential lies in field of cyber," said Rawat in an address at the Vivekananda International Foundation.

"China is capable of launching cyber attacks and disrupting large amount of our systems. We've created cyber agency within armed forces to ensure effect doesn't last long during cyber attack.

We can overcome tech difference only if we integrate our 3 services' resources," he added.
