India's National Critical Infrastructure Information Protection Centre (NCIIPC) has had one of its main servers accessed by the white-hacking collective known as 'Sakura Samurai'.

The group didn't attempt to inform the agency directly, fearing that their intentions may be misjudged, and so they reported their findings to the US Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center, which had a direct channel of communication with the NCIIPC.

Eventually, the 34-page threat report compiled by the researchers reached NCIIPC on February 8, 2020, four days after the hack.
