PM Modi highlighted the rise of cybercrimes in India, especially digital frauds and non-consensual deepfakes, which pose serious threats to citizens.
Cyber frauds are carried out by skilled criminals using advanced tools, not just financially desperate individuals.
India's telecom systems are ill-prepared to handle the massive volume of fraudulent calls and messages, enabling cybercrime to flourish.
Cybercriminals often have connections with local police, allowing them to operate with impunity.
Ordinary people risk losing their life savings through simple scams like fraudulent calls or messages.
The government is addressing the issue, but effective action requires aggressive prosecutions, transparency, and public awareness campaigns.
Educating the public about scams and encouraging skepticism can prevent many people from falling victim to cyber frauds.
As digital services expand, it’s crucial to protect citizens from new cyber threats.
The rise of AI-driven deepfakes is a serious issue, but awareness and preventive measures can help combat it.
