Profile narrative
ZCompany Hacking Crew (also known as ZHC) is a hacktivist group based in Pakistan that has carried out website defacements targeting Indian government properties. Their known operations include the October 2014 defacement of the Bharatiya Janta Party’s Rajkot City site and the February 2014 breach of India’s National Portal, where they posted messages supporting Kashmiri independence and criticizing Indian military actions in Jammu and Kashmir. The group has also claimed attacks on other Indian state and paramilitary websites and alleged an intrusion against a Pakistani hacker collective that was denied. Their tactics are limited to defacement of web pages; no malware, specific initial‑access vectors, or tooling are described in the sources. While the actors are located in Pakistan, no public evidence ties them to a state sponsor or criminal consortium. The primary objective observed is political disruption to advance a Kashmiri independence narrative rather than financial gain or espionage.
