The report – A Deep Dive into Cybercrime Trends Impacting India from the non-profit Future Crime Research Foundation (FCRF) – identified cyber crime hot spots from January 2020 until June 2023.
“The analysis of the top 10 cyber crime-prone districts in India reveals several common factors contributing to their vulnerability.
