Cybercrime is emerging as a serious threat in Assam, as more individuals and businesses go online. The state has seen a rise in online fraud, such as phishing scams, credit card fraud, and ransomware attacks. Additionally, data breaches in government and private sectors have raised concerns about the safety of personal information. Cyberbullying, especially among teenagers, is another worrying issue that law enforcement is trying to address.
The Assam Police, in collaboration with cybersecurity experts, are working to raise public awareness about online safety. They have also enhanced digital forensics and investigative tools to track and apprehend cybercriminals, but the constantly evolving nature of cybercrime makes it a challenge to stay ahead.
