Congress has urged the government to take stringent measures against cybercrime faced by hackers and job scammers. According to sources, a group of Indian tech firms has been accused of collaborating with hackers to steal sensitive information from their customers. The allegations surfaced after a recent investigation into the activities of three major Indian companies, each of which is said to be using hacked accounts to gather crucial data.
The use of compromised user credentials and phishing attacks by these companies has been linked to widespread job scams targeting innocent individuals who unknowingly fall victim to fake job postings. These scammers are allegedly using the stolen information to create fake resumes and cover their tracks, making it difficult for victims to track down the perpetrators. The Indian government is said to be taking notice of this incident and has summoned the representatives of these tech firms.
The Indian Congress has urged the government to take swift action against those responsible for cybercrime in India. They have also proposed a bill that would provide immunity from prosecution to individuals who come forward with evidence of hacking and job scams. The bill aims to hold accountable those who engage in such activities, while also providing support to victims of these crimes.
