BENGALURU: From the global ransomware<\/a> attacks that hit hundreds of systems to phishing and scanning rackets, at least one cybercrime was reported every 10 minutes in India in the first six months of 2017. That’s higher than a crime every 12 minutes in 2016.
\n
\nAccording to the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), 27,482 cases of cybercrime were reported from January to June.
\n
\nThese include phishing, scanning or probing, site intrusions, defacements, virus or malicious code, ransomware and denial-of-service attacks.
\n
\nWith more Indians going online, cyber experts said putting in place critical infrastructure to predict and prevent cybercrimes was crucial.
\n
\nIndia has seen a total of 1.71 lakh cybercrimes in the past three-and-a-half years and the number of crimes so far this year (27,482) indicate that the total number is likely to cross 50,000 by December, just as in 2016.
\n
\n“It is not just enough to make efforts at the government level, which is, in some sense happening, but cybercrime affects hundreds of individual systems and firms, all of whom need to be ready with specialised teams,” cybercrime expert Mirza Faizan Asad said.
\n
\nWhile India has been dealing with crimes such as phishing and defacement, ransomware attacks have come as a surprise. Analysis of data from 2013 to 2016 shows that network scanning and probing — seen as the first step to detect vulnerabilities in systems so that sensitive data can be stolen — formed 6.7% of all cases while virus or malware accounted for 17.2%.
\n
\nExperts pointed out that these were indications of increasing cybercrime-asa-service (CAAS), besides attempts at ransomware.
\n
“There has to be a concerted effort to treat cyber security<\/a> seriously... The vast majority of organisations are looking at cyber security as a compliance task and thus do the minimum possible to achieve that,” Asad said.
\n
\nIncreasing ransomware threat and the demand for ransom in bitcoins — a crypto-currency which attackers feel is the safest way to get paid — saw the SC direct the RBI to take cognisance of the matter. The RBI has also been issuing regular warnings on bitcoins.

注:从全球ransomware攻击,数以百计的系统网络钓鱼和扫描球拍、至少一个网络犯罪报告每10分钟在2017年的前六个月在印度。这是高于2016年犯罪每12分钟。

根据印度计算机紧急响应小组(、),报告了27482例的网络犯罪从1月到6月。

这些包括钓鱼、扫描或调查,网站入侵,破坏行为,病毒或恶意代码,ransomware和拒绝服务攻击。

更多的印度人上网,网络专家表示关键基础设施以预测和防止网络犯罪是至关重要的。

印度已经总共1.71十万的网络犯罪在过去三年半和犯罪的数量今年迄今为止(27482)表明,总数可能会跨越50000年12月,正如在2016年。

“不仅仅是足以让努力在政府层面,这在某种意义上发生,但网络犯罪影响数百个人系统和公司,他们需要准备好与专业团队,“网络犯罪专家Mirza Faizan Asad说。

而印度一直在处理犯罪如钓鱼和乱涂,ransomware攻击已经不足为奇。从2013年到2016年的数据分析表明,网络扫描和探测——视为第一步检测系统中的漏洞,这样能窃取敏感数据,6.7%的所有情况下而形成病毒或恶意软件占17.2%。

专家指出,这些增加的迹象cybercrime-asa-service (CAAS),除了ransomware的尝试。

“必须有一个共同努力治疗网络安全认真……绝大多数的组织正在考虑网络安全作为一个合规的任务,因此做最低可能的实现,“阿萨德说。

增加ransomware威胁,比特币索要赎金的需求——一个攻击者隐匿的感觉是最安全的支付方式,看到了SC直接RBI的认知。印度央行也已发行定期警告比特币。
