There has been a flood of phishing emails received in my inbox in the last 2 months. (thanks to Gmail app which filters most of them appropriately).
With high rate of internet propagation and online bank usage,
these phishing emails are also on an all-time high. I am just wondering how
knowledgeable is our normal Indian public in handling these kind of frauds and
how efficient are our Cyber laws dealing with such scams.
In the recent times, I had received phishing emails received
in the name of many well renowned corporates from the United States, United
Kingdom, Australia and even a lot from the names of ICICI Bank /AXIS, asking me
to enter/ validate some of my account information. Interestingly these mailers
look so genuine and can easily make fool of many.
Though Banks have been educating the user about Phishing,
stating that they never ask for users access details, but not sure how much it
reached the public. Also, how strong are the cyber laws in India and for any
investigation to happen the investigation agencies has to tech savvy to
understand the technicalities behind the fraud.
God save our innocent people !
