The increase in the use of information and communication technology has also led to a rise in cyber crimes. To prevent cyber crimes, it is necessary to increase awareness about such offenses. To report cyber crime complaints, use the National Cyber Crime Helpline 1930 or register on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. Additionally, the Home Department has appealed to the public to follow the official social media handle of ‘Cyber Dost’ on social media platforms.

With the growing use of mobile phones and information and communication technology in the country, the incidence of cyber crimes has increased rapidly. Recognizing that awareness about cyber crime is the first step in prevention, the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs has undertaken a special initiative to raise awareness among citizens about cyber crime. To report any financial cyber crime complaint, call the National Cyber Crime Helpline number 1930 immediately or register on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal at www.cybercrime.gov.in.
