Between 2015 and 2018, a Pakistani spy known on Facebook as “Sejal Kapoor” gained access to the computer systems of over 98 officials from a variety of defense-related organizations and forces, including the Indian Army, Air Force, Navy, paramilitary groups, and state police officers in Rajasthan, MP, Punjab, and UP.
Using malware that was made available from a third-party server located in a West Asian nation, she “trapped” her victim by displaying her highly intimate images and erotic videos.
She was a part of the investigation into the 2018 BrahMos missile classified data breach. Her communications and the specifics of the spyware she deployed, termed Whisper, are accessible to TOI. Malware, short for “malicious software,” is software created with the express intent to infiltrate or harm a computer, usually without the owner’s knowledge.
After the detention of BrahMos senior systems missile projects engineer Nishant Agarwal by the UP anti-terrorism squad (ATS) and military intelligence (MI) for providing Pakistani espionage agency ISI with confidential information about the project, Sejal’s Facebook account became visible.
Her membership in a network that exchanged information and advice on tricking Indian defense personnel was evident from the talks. According to Awasthi, one of the conversations revealed the organization was attempting to carry out a hack.
Awasthi claims that Sejal presented herself to Agrawal as a student from Manchester and as a recruiter from a UK-based company to a former IAF employee.
Sejal worked as a recruiter for Agrawal at Hays Aviation in the UK. Agrawal worked as a senior systems engineer at Brahmos Aerospace, according to his biography. According to Awasthi, he was also friends on Facebook with Neha Sharma and Pooja Ranjan, both of whom had active profiles from Pakistan.
