Cyber crimes can derail nation’s development: Vice President Dhankhar

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday cautioned that cyber crimes can derail a nation’s development and called for a convergence of efforts and institutions to deal with the threat.

He called for a need to further educate people to protect data to prevent them from falling victims of cyber crimes.

Addressing a conference on cyber security organised by a think tank here, Vice President Dhankhar felt that there was a need to extend legal aid to victims of cyber fraud as they could have lost all their finances to cyber criminals.
