National Cyber Crime Prevention Efforts Block Over 11,158 Crore Rupees in Fraud A significant breakthrough in combating cybercrime has been achieved by the Central Government, which has successfully prevented over 11,158 crore rupees from being stolen through online fraud schemes. This success is attributed to the National Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (ஐ4சி), a dedicated initiative launched to address the rising threat of digital crimes. Over the past five years, the centre has processed more than 32.8 lakh complaints, leading to the recovery of substantial funds and the blocking of malicious activities. The Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System, established in 2021, has played a pivotal role in this effort. By analyzing complaints and coordinating with law enforcement, the system has enabled authorities to intercept fraudulent transactions and dismantle cybercriminal networks. As a result, over 11,158 crore rupees have been blocked from falling into the hands of cybercriminals. Additionally, 3,718 mobile apps suspected of facilitating fraud have been banned, further tightening the digital security landscape. The government has also taken measures to disrupt the infrastructure used by cybercriminals. Over 15.75 lakh SIM cards and 5.77 lakh mobile devices have been blocked, preventing the use of stolen identities and devices in fraudulent activities. The Cyber Suspect Register, launched in September 2024, has been instrumental in tracking suspicious individuals and their financial transactions. This register, maintained in collaboration with banks and financial institutions, has linked 30.48 lakh suspect records and 32.#central_government #ministry_of_home_affairs #national_cyber_crime_coordination_centre #cyber_fraud_reporting_and_management_system #cyber_suspect_register
