First time ever Indian Intelligence Agencies has
been successful in nabbing a Pak spy - 'Rishi Mahendra Kumar', in
Jodhpur after two years of online chase. Kumar's tracking was intiated
when Hyderabad Police arrested some ISI suspects in 2003, which led
them to some specific Email IDs belonging to ISI agents in India. He
was sent to India via Bangladesh and was passing on information, which
included Military secrets to ISI through Internet. The
chase snaked through different cities of Rajasthan & Gujarat.
It has been most successful cyber operation for
Indian Intelligence agencies as they were successful in pinning down
Kumar without having any idea about his identity or location. Email
tracking was initiated which involved tracking of each and every email
which was routed through some particular ID and further tracking down
location of IP addresses with the help of local ISPs.
Generally, tracking of an Email sender's IP address is not a difficult
task. As most of the Email companies provide for the option to view
full headers in the email program, which contain various IP addresses,
including that of the sender. But for the exact identification of the
sender's computer, you need to take help of the ISP for further
information. |
