Shadow Protocol

Shadow Protocol is an Indian hacktivist group publicly identified by CYFIRMA as one of three collectives that announced Operation Vasudev Strike with Shadow Phantom and Team Red Eagle on 12 July 2025. The coalition framed attacks planned for 15 August as retaliation against Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Turkey. Public reporting connects the coalition to a compromise claim against Pakistan's Ibn-e-Sina University, but the available incident detail specifically names Shadow Phantom as the posting actor. Shadow Protocol should therefore be attributed to coalition participation and campaign intent, not automatically to the university intrusion or its techniques.
