The blasts that went off in New Delhi on Saturday evening, have left the Kamath household at Eric House, 16th Road, Chembur, in a shambles.
A crest-fallen Sarika Kamath, wife of KM Kamath — a businessman from whose internet protocol (IP) address the terror mail was sent almost at the time the first blast shook the Capital, said on Sunday that her family had been “victims of technology”.
“Hacking has become a terror for common citizens like us. We are innocent and hard-working people,” Sarika said from her Chembur residence.
Ever since the anti-terrorism squad traced the terror mail, sent by the Indian Mujahideen, to the IP address Kamran Power Control Pvt Ltd, the firm owned by Kamath, late on Saturday night, Sarika and her husband had been repeatedly grilled by the sleuths.
Sarika said that after the preliminary probe, ATS officers were of opinion that their WiFi (wireless fidelity) had been hacked, just like it had been with US national Kenneth Heywood prior to the Ahmedabad blasts.
“We did not feel the need to secure or password-protect our internet connection. It was a mistake. It has become a must that all citizens secure their connections,” Sarika said.
Soft target
Eric House in Ambedkar Gardens on 16th Road, Chembur, is a posh locality frequented by youngsters.
With several coaching classes and restaurants located there, along with a bank, a dispensary, an apparel store, a pathology lab and some offices, the place is always milling with people. Anyone wanting to do something on the sly, could easily escape unnoticed.
