CyTrain portal developed to train police personnel on aspects of cybercrime
A Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System has been launched for reporting financial frauds and to stop siphoning off funds by the fraudsters, said Union Ministry of Home Affairs. A toll-free number 155260 has been operationalised to get assistance in lodging online cyber complaints.
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Kumar Mishra said this in a written reply to a query on steps taken by the Centre to curb cyber crime raised by Kanimozhi Somu (DMK) in the Rajya Sabha.
The MHA has set up the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) to deal with all types of cyber crime in the country, in a coordinated and comprehensive manner and a National Cyber Forensic Laboratory (NCFL) in Dwarka, New Delhi, to provide early stage cyber forensic assistance to investigating officers (IOs).
