New Delhi, Aug 8 (Agencies): Pakistan intelligence agencies are planning to hack the computer networks of ministries like Defence and External Affairs, according to a government warning.

An advisory was issued today by the Home Ministry alerting that sensitive and classified information must be carefully protected from online exposure.

The advisory warns that Pakistani intelligence agencies will try to use a complex matrix of online proxies as cover for an attempted hack.

The warning comes amid escalating cross-border firing in Jammu and Kashmir and ahead of scheduled talks in Delhi between the National Security Advisors of India and Pakistan that is meant to focus on countering terror attacks.

On Wednesday, a terrorist from the Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan was caught in the Jammu region. Mohammad Naved has told interrogators that he entered India 45 days ago. Pakistan has said it wants evidence from India that Yakub is a Pakistani citizen.

    Digital security, it's said is the most insecure thing in the world. We, instead of being complacent with our prehistoric achievements such as attributing Karna's birth to genetic engineering and Ganesha's elephantine anatomy to plastic surgery, should invest in quantum computing which is supposed to be speedy and hack-proof but is at infancy as of now. Even though US is leading in this field, China is going to complete world's longest quantum communication network by 2016. Where do we stand?My guess is as good as yours.

    Pakistani intelligence agencies using complex matrix of online proxies as cover for an attempted hack? C'mon, give me a break. As usual there must be Chinese brains - who have reportedly hacked into sensitive U.S. defense and intelligence data, behind this
