Cybercrimes like phishing are one of the top concerns worldwide. To check the menace, the Central Government has taken a concrete step by announcing to set up an apex centre, “Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C)” in New Delhi.
The centre will work with state governments and union territories, and closely monitor the cyber space and social media with due emphasis on vernacular content. It would block those websites which flout India's laws and circulate child porn, and communally and racially sensitive content, while maintaining a list of suspects and the leads generated during investigations in cybercrime cases, which would be shared with law enforcement agencies through a secured internal network.
If we look at cybercrime status, it really perturbs us. The NCRB states that 5,693, 9,622 and 11,592 cybercrime cases were registered during 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively, showing a rise of 69 per cent during 2013 to 2014.
Also, the government has released Rs 83 crore for setting up of a cyber forensic training laboratory-cum-training centre for police officials in each state. The funds were given under the Cyber Crime Prevention against Women and Children Scheme, a Home ministry official told PTI.
