"We have seen a spurt in cyber crimes. While some of the complaints are innocent like posting a negative comment in one's profile, we are also receiving cases of stolen identity and fake profiles. Husbands who believed their wives were cheating on them have gone to the extent of sharing 'superimposed' photos by hacking into their wives' email accounts,'' said a source.
Political leaders have not been spared. At least three heavyweights, including National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah, have seen their fake Twitter accounts being created. No wonder then that from a modest two cases in 2010, cases registered under various sections of the stringent IT Act rose to 39 in 2011 in the capital. This year, already 37 cases have been registered by the cyber cell of Economic Offences Wing of crime branch.
The cops, however, clarified that they have not come across any case in which they had had to arrest a person for breach of peace in the city.
Investigators say merely registering a case does not ensure justice. "In the West, security agencies are taking to ethical hacking to solve decade-old criminal cases. Some agencies are even trying to hack the security network of another country. But in a country like India, which claims it has an eminent space in IT, it takes years to locate a man behind a fake profile,'' said a police officer.
Even institutions are being targeted. "In the middle of this year, the official webpage of Delhi University's (DU) English department was hacked by a Pakistan-based group. If you look at official estimates, hacking in India is now done like never before," said a hacker who claimed it's time ethical hacking was taken seriously.
"When arrested Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Syed Zabiuddin Ansari admits that he was operating nine e-mail accounts post 26/11 attacks or when Indian Mujahideen claims it used drafts in their email accounts to continue their conversation, the enormity of the problem hits us,'' said an officer in the Special cell.
Cops now want special classes, in line with those that have been devised in Mumbai, to reach out to school and college students and teach them how to use the internet safely. "This is now a part of life, and unless one is educated, they can see these great tools of communication being misused,'' said a crime branch officer.
