Delhi registered 1850% rise in cyber crime cases, according to NCRB report
According to figures compiled by the National
Crime Records Bureau (NCRB),
cases of hacking registered
an increase of 1850% from
just two cases in the year
2010 to 39 in 2011 in Delhi,
as reported on July 8, by
Hindustan Times. The
sheer volume of such cases,
registered under Section 66(2)
of the Information Technology
(IT) Act, seems to make Delhi
the most vulnerable Indian
city when it comes to cyber
attacks. Not even a single
case of hacking was registered
in other metropolitan cities
such as Mumbai and Kolkata
or even Chennai and Hyderabad
in 2011.
