Dear Readers,
Greetings from SecurityLinkIndia!
Cybercrime is on incessant rise, and maneuvers to rein in its command are deemed as arduous tasks. It’s
not that efforts are not being made, or we don’t have advanced and apt technologies to contain it, or there
is any deficiency of ample laws. We deficit majorly at two points – first, the execution of both technology and
laws is lackluster, and second we fall short of apposite knowledge and awareness about the technologies and
laws, and working thereof. We largely make use of cyber tools unplanned and haphazard.
As Police and Public Order are State subjects hence States/ UTs are primarily responsible for the
prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of crimes including cyberfraud through their Law
Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). The Central Government supplements their initiatives through advisories and
financial assistance under various schemes for capacity building of their LEAs.
The Government of India has taken various steps for spreading awareness about cybercrimes, issuance of
alerts/ advisories, capacity building/ training of law enforcement personnel/ prosecutors/ judicial ofÏcers,
improving cyber forensic facilities etc. This has been aimed to strengthen the mechanism to deal with
cybercrimes in a comprehensive and coordinated manner. It has set up the ‘Indian Cyber Crime Coordination
Centre’ (I4C) as an associated ofÏce to deal with all types of cybercrime in the country.
Further, a ‘National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal’ (https://cybercrime.gov.in) has been launched, as a
part of the I4C, to enable public to report incidents pertaining to all types of cybercrimes, with special focus
on cybercrimes against women and children. Moreover, a special ‘Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting
and Management System,’ under I4C, was also launched specifically for immediate reporting of financial
frauds and to stop siphoning off funds by the fraudsters. As well, a toll-free Helpline number ‘1930’ has been
operationalized to provide assistance in lodging online cyber complaints.
Besides, the Government has also opened Sanchar Saathi portal (www.sancharsaathi.gov.in) to empower
mobile subscribers, strengthen their security and increase awareness about citizen centric initiatives of the
Government. The portal inter-alia, provides, facilities to citizens to report suspected fraud communications. It
also helps in knowing the mobile connections issued in their name and reporting the mobile connections for
disconnection which are either not required or not taken by them. It is also to report the stolen/ lost mobile
handset for blocking and tracking. It is also to report the incoming international calls received with Indian
telephone number as calling line identification.
To spread awareness on cybercrime, the Central Government has taken steps which inter-alia, include –
dissemination of messages through SMS, I4C social media account i.e., X (formerly Twitter) (@CyberDost),
Facebook(CyberDostI4C), Instagram (cyberDostI4C), Telegram(cyberdosti4c), Radio campaign; engaged
MyGov.in for publicity in multiple mediums, organizing Cyber Safety and Security Awareness weeks in
association with States/ UTs, publishing of handbook for adolescents/ students etc. The States/ UTs have also
been requested to carry out publicity to create mass awareness.
Till we meet next month, stay safe & happy reading!
With warm regards,
Santosh Pathak
