Director, Centre for Research on Cyber Intelligence and Digital Forensics (CRCIDF), New Delhi, Prasad Patibandla said on Saturday that hackers tried in vain to steal the formula of COVID-19 vaccine recently, and that cyber offenders were focussing mainly on pharma and financial sectors of the country.
Addressing a one-day workshop-cum-orientation programme, organised by the CRCIDF here, Mr. Prasad, who is a researcher said: “Out of 100 cases we receive, Telugu people are victims in about 70 cases. As people in Andhra Pradesh are in the habit of investing and saving money, fraudsters are hacking their accounts.”
CRCIDF Director (Capacity Building) B. Vinod Babu appealed to the people not to go for easy money and fall in the traps laid by the cyber offenders. He asked the public to be cautious in using payment wallets.
