PHISHING: MAKING INDIA DIGITALLY SECURE
We need a rule that regulates data, which is not personally
identifiable, to deter cybercrime and to ensure that firms protect
their assets
With the onset of the digital era, crimes in cyberspace have
been aggressively increasing – taking myriad forms and
targeting people for both monetary and informational reasons. The
effects of cybercrime are significant for a country like India,
where both traditional and digital literacy rates, are still low,
despite slight improvements in the past few years. Phishing scams,
internet fraud, online IPR (intellectual property) violations,
identity theft, online harassment and bullying are some of the
common types of cybercrimes.
