Southeast Asia origin of at least 45% cyber frauds targeting Indians… can’t rule out China connection: Official

Analysis of data by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), a division of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), has revealed that around 7,000 cyber-related complaints on average are registered with the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP) daily and most of the frauds have origin in three Southeast Asian countries — Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos.

“We have found that many web applications used to commit the crime are written in Mandarin, so we cannot rule out China connection,” Chief Executive Officer (I4C) Rajesh Kumar said on Wednesday.
