Amit Shah asks CBI, I4C to develop ecosystem to counter cybercriminals, stay two steps ahead
New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday asked the CBI and I4C to develop a joint system with other institutions like NIA, ED and banks to devise a “coordinated and highly-secure ecosystem” and remain “two steps ahead” to counter cybercriminals using novel technologies to commit crimes.
Underlining the gravity of cybercrimes in the country, the home minister said considering the volume and stakes of India’s digital transactions, the scenario of cybercrime appears alarming with one person becoming a victim every 37 seconds on an average, and 100 falling prey to it every hour.
