  • How

    Cybercrime a bigger menace

    Cybercrime a bigger menace
  • According to a report by Kaspersky Lab, India ranks 6th in the world with respect of cybercrime.

    The Indian public is particularly wary of cybercrime as hacking attacks to access personal data are often reported.

    Banks as well as police are often helpless for lack of an established mechanism to deal with cybercrime; there is reportedly almost zero-conviction rate with respect to cybercrime.

  • Information

    It's likely to get worse!

  • In an October 2016 report, ASSOCHAM warned that quantum of mobile frauds would increase by 65% by 2017. Fraud cases pertaining to credit and debit cards already top the charts of cyber crime; they had increased six times since 2013.

  • What

    Drawbacks in light of digitization

    Drawbacks in light of digitization
  • In light of government's push towards digitization, although cyber experts have welcomed it but repeatedly cautioned that IT infrastructure and awareness regarding security is severely lacking.

    People unaware of online/phone scams frequently fall prey to hackers and find themselves robbed of large sums of money.

    Cybercrime has doubled in last one year; post-demonetization, increase in online payments has seen cyber frauds steadily increase too.

  • Quote

    Pavan Duggal, Supreme Court advocate

  • Pavan Duggal, a cyber law expert said, "Mobile wallets like Paytm have witnessed a spike in their user base. Post-demonetisation of the Rs.500 and Rs.1,000 notes, a majority of banks, mobile applications and e-wallets have been targeted by scamsters."
