What is future cyber crime?
If you think that hacking a Facebook account or creating a fake account in any social media platforms or freaked you out by syphoning some pennies in your bank account by fraudsters are cybercrimes, then be prepared for a jerk.
Sheepishly enough, future cybercrime is something else. It’s infrastructure crime whose impact will be so dangerous that we may not recover for days. Can you remember 7th May, 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack….
In the pandemic period the apex body Interpol cautioned us against the biggest cyber crime in the form of ransomware and don’t forget, the most dangerous one infra attack. The infra attacks are on infrastructure of the nation.
Information Technology Act, 2000 in section 70(1) Explains CII means Critical Information Infrastructure which includes the database of every Critical Infrastructure of nation. Hacking CII is Hacking India. Our future law enforcement officers should or can not rely only on lathies and144 cr.p.c. order or physical forces.
