Over ₹10,300 crore were siphoned off from the country by cybercriminals since April 1, 2021, of which agencies managed to successfully block around ₹1,127 crore in the country, Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) said Wednesday.
In a media interaction, I4C CEO Rajesh Kumar said that more than 5,000 complaints of cyber crime are being reported on the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP) of which 40-50 per cent are based on frauds committed by gangs operating from China and "pockets of Cambodia and Myanmar".
He said he did not mean "nation-State" are running the scams but "gangs" operating from these countries are behind the cyber crimes. "We have pockets of Cambodia and Myanmar. We are seeing Chinese apps. Who is denying?" Mr. Kumar said in response to a question.
