“The website www.Songs.Pk has over 1.2 million Indian users who are downloading stuff from these websites daily,” said a cyber expert in the ministry.

The sources told PTI that it would take a few minutes for hackers to take control over all 1.2 million computers and the number of such computers was multiplying by the minute.
