Mumbai Tragedy, Technology and Terror Action

A few days ago, Nov 26th, terrorists with weapon and grenade have been targeting their action to the top five-star Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai business district. It was about 100 people have died in the area and some foreign resident in this hotel became hostages.

An online media in India, CyberMedia India Online (CIOL) reported that the terror occurred in Mumbai was also assisted by several technology equipment. This is proven as the use of satellite phones, email, GPS Map, and micro-blogging effectively helped the terrorists (Deccan Mujahedeen Group) to execute their action. Even the terrorist had claimed the terror as their action through email.

However, Multinational Technology Company is not likely disrupted by Mumbai Terror and it still undergoes its strategy in India. As Vidya Natampally, strategy director of Microsoft Research India said that Microsoft is still running to keep its commitment, to establish software development center and to operate call center in India. Some large companies such as Oracle, Microsoft, Dell and still run the business in India, and Mumbai in particular. The three companies disclose the existence of terror, and then they will tighten the security of their existing facilities.
