Why is Cyber Crime a Concern?

India has emerged as a

favorite
among
cybercriminals,
mostly
hackers and other malicious
users who use the internet
to commit crimes such as
identity theft, spamming,
phishing and other types of
fraud.

As per the study's findings,

total number of cyber crimes
registered
during
2011,
2012, 2013 and 2014 stood
at
13,301 | 22,060 | 71,780 |
1,49,254 respectively.

What is causing even more

concern is that the origin of
these crimes is widely based
abroad in countries like
China, Pakistan, Bangladesh
and Algeria

Phishing attacks of online

banking accounts or cloning
of ATM/debit cards are
common
occurrences.
Maximum
number
of
offenders belong to the 1830 age group, added the
report.

According to a Study by Economic Times

India can see a rise of up to 200% in Cyber
Crimes Committed in 2015
