VLC Media Player banned in India
One of the most popular media player software and streaming media server VLC media player, developed by VideoLAN project, is banned in India. However, if the software is still installed on the device, it should still be working.
Reports suggest that VLC Media Player has been banned in the country because the platform was used by China-backed hacking group Cicada for cyber-attacks. Security experts have discovered Cicada using VLC Media Player to deploy a malicious malware loader as part of a long-running cyber-attack campaign.
Currently, the VLC Media Player website and download link are banned in the country. No one in the country can access the platform for any work. It is said that VLC Media Player is banned on all major ISPs including ACTFibernet, Jio, Vodafone-idea and others.
Notably, VLC Media Player is not backed by a Chinese company. It is developed by VideoLAN, a Paris-based firm. Since it was a soft ban, neither the company, nor the Indian government officially announced the banning of the media platform.
