According to him, the district of Deoghar had the highest number of frozen accounts—2,002—followed by Dhanbad (1,183) and Ranchi (959).
A CID officer stated on Tuesday that 8,674 bank accounts in Jharkhand have been suspended due to suspicions that they were being utilised for phishing activities. These accounts are purportedly connected to hackers. According to him, the district of Deoghar had the highest number of frozen accounts—2,002—followed by Dhanbad (1,183) and Ranchi (959).
The Jharkhand Crime Investigation Department (CID) Director General Anurag Gupta told PTI, “We received the details of frozen accounts from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) and prepared a district-wise and bank-wise list of such information. “The data will be shared with the superintendents of police of all districts and banks for verification of the accounts.
According to him, complaints on the CFCFRMS (Citizen Financial Cyber Fraud Reporting and Management System) portal and the 1930’s helpline for reporting cybercrime offered by I4C (Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre) led to the freezing of the accounts by various police forces across the nation. The Ministry of Home Affairs founded the unit to give law enforcement organisations a framework and ecosystem for addressing cybercrime in a coordinated and thorough manner.
It is intended for I4C to serve as the focal point for reducing cybercrime in the nation. “If any person has been cheated and he calls 1930′, it enters the data on an online portal, and if the money has been credited to fraudulent accounts, it freezes those,” stated the official.
He promised to track down the information of these account holders. In roughly two years, 8,674 bank accounts have been frozen.
