As digitalization increases in Bihar, so do the threats posed by cybercrime. Online fraud, including phishing scams and financial fraud, has surged, targeting individuals and businesses alike. Data breaches in both the public and private sectors have compromised sensitive information. Moreover, cyberbullying, particularly among young people, is becoming more prevalent, with devastating emotional and psychological impacts.
Bihar’s law enforcement agencies are focusing on building cybercrime units and training officers in digital forensics. Public awareness campaigns are being launched to educate citizens on the risks of online fraud and the importance of securing personal data. However, the rapidly evolving nature of cybercrimes remains a key challenge for authorities.
