Cyber offenders are targeting top-level officials, creating unrest among the bureaucrats by hacking their profiles and accounts.
“Online fraudsters are resorting to offences in several ways, including sending spam links, messages, OTPs and fake calls. They are also hacking the accounts of bureaucrats and sending deceiving links to their friends, family and other officers,” said an investigation officer.
Impersonating celebrities, political leaders and officers, fraudsters have sent out requests to people they know, demanding money citing some urgency, the Cyber Crime official said.
