In view of curfew and lockdown during Kovid, the trend of digital payment in the country has increased rapidly. Mobile and Internet banking is being used a lot. People are avoiding going to bank branch or ATM due to fear of infection. With the increase in online payment, the incidence of online fraud has also increased. Identity theft, hacking, phishing attacks and data britches are witnessing a spurt. According to the Norton Cyber Safety Insights report, in the last 12 months, identity theft has occurred in the data of 2.7 crore (27 million) Indians.
With the increase in digital payments, the infrastructure associated with it in the country is also growing rapidly.
