Cybercrimes are on the rise in Arunachal Pradesh, with cases of online fraud, hacking, data breaches, and cyberbullying being reported regularly. The state has seen a significant increase in people falling victim to online scams, where fraudsters use deceptive tactics such as phishing emails, fake websites, and identity theft to steal money or personal information. Furthermore, cyberbullying has become a growing concern, especially among the youth, with social media platforms being used to harass and intimidate individuals.
Authorities have stepped up efforts to educate the public about internet safety and to offer support to victims of cybercrimes. The state police have set up a dedicated cybercrime unit to investigate and prosecute offenders. They are working closely with national agencies to trace hackers and prevent further data breaches. Residents are being urged to stay cautious while online, regularly update passwords, and report any suspicious online activity to the authorities.
