Good initiative but hope they involve tech experts from private sector too. Only government babus discussing won't help - we need practical solutions from people who understand latest hacking techniques.
Why so many meetings? Just implement KYC strictly for all digital transactions and make cybercrime punishments more severe. Action speaks louder than meetings! 💪
As an NRI, I'm glad India is taking cyber security seriously. My relatives in India keep getting scam calls pretending to be from banks. Hope they create better awareness campaigns for common people.
They should first fix the basic infrastructure - half the time OTPs don't reach on time or UPI fails. More focus on reliability will automatically reduce fraud opportunities.
Good step but implementation is key. We've seen many committees before with no concrete results. Hope this time they'll actually make changes that protect common citizens like us.
