DMK president M.K. Stalin expressed grave shock over confirmed reports of a serious cyber attack targeting the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited, specifically affecting computer systems at the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tirunelveli district. Stalin stated that this dangerous digital breach exposes a shocking deficiency of adequate cybersecurity safeguards at critical national infrastructure installations where technological security should be of paramount priority.

Stalin pointed out that nuclear installations house sensitive technological systems where any vulnerability poses an unimaginable threat to public safety and regional security. The delayed admission and contradictory statements issued by nuclear authorities regarding malware infiltration on administrative networks deepened public anxiety across Tamil Nadu. He demanded that the Union Government immediately order an independent, high-level technical enquiry into the systemic vulnerabilities and security protocols governing all atomic power stations.

The DMK leader asserted that the National Cyber Security Coordinator owes a transparent explanation to the country concerning the preparedness and digital shielding of strategic installations. Stalin affirmed that national safety cannot be compromised through administrative complacency, demanding immediate reinforcement of cybersecurity firewalls across all critical energy and defense establishments.
