Security pro: AI-assisted attackers will pound India's public digital infrastructure
abhaybhargav · x · 2026-10-22
Security professional Abhay Bhargav, responding to another post, took a pessimistic view of India's digital infrastructure: AI-assisted adversaries will keep pounding it because attacks are now too easy, while the lumbering bureaucracy can only respond by "banning it" — impossible for public-facing infrastructure like banks, railways, power and airlines.
The quoted post argued India should prepare crisis management: train the private sector — banks, railways, power companies, airlines — to respond to disruptions professionally and swiftly, coordinating so panic and misinformation don't fill the gaps.
