Cybercrime cases have increased to more than 12,000 cases in 2016

**Cybercrimes** cases registered in the country have grown in the last three years, with the number rising from 9,622 and 11,592 to 12,317 during 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively, the government said on 5 January.

Reuters.[/caption] During the Question Hour in Rajya Sabha, members expressed concern over the safety of digital transactions, to which the Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad said that the government was alert to the challenges. He also said the government was working with Interpol and CBI to identify sites that had child pornographic material, something which is “totally condemnable”. A large number of sites have also been blocked, he said. He also quoted data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) and said as per **incidents** reported to the Indian Computer Emergency Report Team (CERT-In), 79 phishing incidents affecting 22 financial organisations, 13 incidents affecting ATMs, Point of Sales (PoS) systems and Unified Payments Interface (UPI) were reported. The RBI has registered a total of 13083, 16,468, 13,653 and 12,520 cases of frauds involving credit cards in 2014-15, 2015 -16, 2016-17 and quarter April-September 2017 respectively, he said. Prasad said that labs have been established in several states and hundreds of officers deployed. “We don’t have a report of any fraud as far as the BHIM app is concerned but the government is alert,” he added.
