Key Findings

• While unlikely, there is a possibility that India’s retaliatory attack for the Pahalgam attack and Pakistan’s looming retaliation will lead to all-out war.
• India in particular is utilizing unprecedented non-military options to retaliate economically and via cyberattacks. An uptick in trade tensions and cyberattacks is very likely over the long term.
• ZeroFox has observed cyber threat actors on both sides targeting cyber infrastructure related to the defense sector.
