////Canada Names India In Cyberthreat List, Accuses It Of 'Likely' Spying///

The report states, “India’s leadership almost certainly aspires to build a modernised cyber programme with domestic capabilities, very likely using it to advance national security, including espionage, counterterrorism, and efforts to elevate its global status and counter narratives against India and the Indian government.”
The assessment further claims that India’s cyber programme likely utilises commercial vendors to strengthen its operations. It asserts that bilateral relations between Canada and India will “very likely” influence Indian state-sponsored cyber activities against Canada.

Dear Friends, at a press conference on Saturday, India's Ministry of External Affairs said senior Canadian officials under the Trudeau administration have publicly acknowledged that Canada wants to influence international sentiment against India. The ministry also said that like other incidents, the cybersecurity report made these allegations without any evidence.
In its latest report titled 'National Cyber Threat Review 2025-26' on cyber security, the Canadian government has identified India as a 'cyber enemy'. Other countries on the list include China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.

According to the report, countries like India, hoping to become a new center of power in the global system, are developing cyber programs, which pose a threat to Canada at various levels.

Friends, Amidst the ongoing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, the Justin Trudeau government has named India in a list of cyberthreat adversaries, while also suggesting that state-sponsored actors could be spying against it.
In its latest report titled ‘National Cyber Threat Assessment 2025-2026’, the government of Canada indicated that state-sponsored actors from India may be involved in espionage activities against it. Amid the ongoing diplomatic disputes, India ranks fifth in the report, following China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
“We assess that Indian state-sponsored cyber threat actors likely conduct cyber threat activity against Government of Canada networks for the purpose of espionage,” the report states.
This development follows a period of strained relations since Trudeau alleged that Canada had credible evidence implicating Indian government agents in the murder of pro-Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia, Surrey in June 2023 — an accusation New has strongly denied as baseless.Released on October 30 by the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (Cyber Centre), part of the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSE), the NCTA 2025-2026 highlights threats facing Canadian individuals and organisations. While previous National Cyber Threat Assessments in 2018, 2020, and 2023-24 omitted mention of India, the 2025-26 report includes India alongside China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea in the ‘Cyber Threat from State Adversaries’ section, addressing the state-sponsored cyber threat landscape in Canada.
