As tensions continued to mount between Pakistan and India, a cyberattack red alert was also issued across Pakistan on May 7. In response, the National Cyber Emergency Response Team (NCERT) had issued an advisory, warning the public not to open suspicious links, messages, or emails.

It had also recommended keeping systems and software updated, using strong and frequently changed passwords, enabling two-factor authentication and avoiding the spread of unverified information and rumors.
