Indian Mujahideen & The Art of Hacking WiFi: A Deadly Combination

The Indian Mujahideen (IM) had a signature-style modus operandi. It warned just minutes before it struck. The gang had a media cell.

Its job was to send emails to the media claiming responsibility of the blast, just minutes before the explosives went off.

Mansoor Peerbhoy and Salmaan Kadar Shaikh, both software experts, were in charge of the media cell. The duo, along with seven others, enrolled for a course in Hyderabad in May 2007.

It taught them to hack unsecured WiFi connections.

Peerbhoy contacted several computer experts , seeking their views on hacking. Several of them unknowingly gave him tips on how to send emails that can’t be traced.

The outfit had set up a full-fledged control room at the Ashoka Mews building in Pune. After the blasts, the members used to watch news channels to know about the police progress in investigations.

Also, the terror group triggered most of the blasts on 13th or 26th of a month.
