On the contrary, frauds in the banking system have become easier for hackers, the cybersecurity threat has been looming for quite some time now.


Indian Government announced its first National Level Cyber Security policy in 2013, but the reach and impact were quite limited. In recent 5 years, cyber threats have become more prominent and sophisticated making them difficult to be detected at early stages, thus causing huge losses to government and private sectors. Indian networks were also affected because of such attacks like WannaCrypt, Petya Ransomware.

The intensity and impact of cybercrime have been increasing every year and since they take quite some time before being detected it causes huge losses to the government. Below are some of the major cyber attacks in recent times.
