Is AI facilitating cybercrime ?
Cybercrime has become a dominant peril and is continuously increasing despite strong measures enforced by authorities. The number of incidents have demonstrated a staggering 217% growth over past five years, moving from 10.29 lakh cases in 2022 to 28.15 lakh in 2025, with last years growth being 24.11%. Currently, these crimes translate to a financial loss of Rs 22,495 crores annually, most of which flows out of the country. The alarming growth rates, corresponding volumes and sophisticated approach of attackers is a matter of great concern. Regulatory agencies are doing their best by putting in an enforcement ecosystem through public awareness campaigns, cybercrime cells, dedicated online reporting portals and helplines. Despite all this, the mammoth problem needs to be tackled with a multi-pronged approach, one of which has to be individual precaution and prevention. The basic problem stems from the fact that digital literacy has failed to keep pace with digital access, especially with rampant usage of smartphones and social media. Unbridled availability of individual data makes it easy for scamsters and criminals to target their victims, who could be vulnerable due to data exposure, low digital literacy, temptation to easy gains and psychological manipulation. Scamsters exploit loopholes in the system to gain access to victims personal data which is the main weapon for digital scams. A major contributing factor for such criminal acts is hyper-personalisation. As a marketing strategy, Businesses try to capture an individuals data to curate personalised offerings for every potential customer. Enterprise databases are the prime target of hackers, who sell the harvested data to scamsters. We do hear about major data leaks where large-scale data breaches at enterprise level expose personal information. While such instances are beyond individual control, we need to be sensitive and take self-precautions at our own level. As an individual, we share our data while availing any service, be it banking, utilities, shopping, travel or insurance. While such services may necessitate partaking of user data, we need to be conscious to share only the bare minimum requisites. It is common knowledge that data circulates amongst banks, credit companies, telecom and marketing companies. While the organisations themselves may be taking adequate caution to safeguard our data, leaks occur at times through their third-party associate agencies or some unscrupulous employees. Criminals use such data for demographic profiling and zero down to potential targets based on age group, literacy, financial net worth, social activities, interests/ hobbies, professional standing, community affiliations etc. The biggest contributing factor for data leakage is social media. Most of the folks are either not aware or dont care about the security settings of social media profiles, leaving their data, social engagements, life events, movements, pictures etc. open to public access. People need to understand that every social media account has security settings where you can control as to who can view your activities. Proper settings and controls would definitely reduce ones vulnerability to data theft. Moreover, all our activities create a digital footprint, which can be harnessed by hackers to pull out information that is subsequently used for fraudulent purposes. Every click on social media, every upload, every comment leaves your digital footprint. Even your devices act as trackers, collecting data regarding your movements. Besides other information, your Google account captures location data. Access to ones google account can lay bare heaps of personal data, which can be grossly misused by scammers. The issue is further compounded by advent of Artificial Intelligence, which currently is perceived to be the main driving force for digital crimes. Scammers are resorting to extensive usage of AI tools for creating documents/ media clips/ deepfakes/ voice clones which serve the purpose of props for their scams, launching attacks at a much higher scale. AI applications enable hyper-personalised phishing, voice-cloning and deepfakes. Attackers use social media, job portals, video calls to collect facial data which is assimilated to create synthetic identities. Since AI generated communication emulates actuals to a great extent, it becomes difficult to trust any communication per se and hence every artefact becomes a suspect. Generative AI has abetted in covering up traditional warning signs of a fraud and has further lowered the entry barrier for cybercrime. You dont require technical skills any more for writing malware. The latest trend is the availability of ransomware-as-a-service. These paid services, available over dark web and collaboration platforms let criminals run sophisticated attacks in absence of any technical skillset. Deepfake packages customised to specific needs are available easily, so are AI generated images of police stations/ uniformed setups used for digital arrests. AI tools have been instrumental in bypassing facial authentication and account recovery. Today, AI algorithms are even used for guessing passwords by employing heat signatures of fingertips on keypads. We have Large Language models capable of creating personalised communications, voice cloning applications to replicate a persons voice from a miniscule portion of an audio and deepfake video generators to emulate a video call. Such applications are effortlessly accessible for quite nominal charges. Deepfakes are being rampantly used for identity fraud and real-time impersonation, defeating the biometric and facial identification checks. AI has been instrumental in breaking the barriers of skill, time and cost to run widespread fraud campaigns. While the threat keeps growing, we can mitigate the risk and safeguard ourselves by taking a few necessary precautions : Ensure to use multi-factor authentication for every application, in addition to voice/face recognition. Avoid sharing excessive personal details on social media and restrict privacy settings on online accounts. Verify unexpected calls, emails, or messages, even if they appear to come from a friend, colleague, or family member. Be cautious of urgent requests for money, OTPs, passwords, or personal information. Dont trust video or voice messages alone for financial or sensitive decisions, verify identity through a phone call, alternate contact number, or face-to-face confirmation. Confirm sensitive requests through a separate communication channel. Decide and retain a specific codeword with close family members for verification in case of an emergency voice or video call. In case you fall a prey to any fraud or scam. report the incident immediately to cybercrime cell to initiate action. Confirm, Confirm, Confirm - the identity and authenticity of any request through digital medium before you Act. The author is a technocrat with expertise in Data Analytics, Cyber Law and Digital Forensics. He is currently acting as consulting advisor/ mentor to several startups.

Government establishes JK4C to combat cyber crimes across J&K
: Srinagar, Jul 17: In a significant step towards strengthening the cyber security architecture and enhancing the capacity to combat cybercrime in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, sanction has been accorded for the establishment of the Jammu & Kashmir Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (JK4C) as an independent organization under the overall superintendence and control of the Director General of Police, J&K. As per an official statement, the newly established JK4C will serve as the nodal cybercrime coordination agency for the Union Territory and will be responsible for coordinating, preventing, detecting and investigating cybercrimes across Jammu and Kashmir. The Centre will function in close alignment with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, ensuring seamless coordination with the national cybercrime framework. According to order issued by home department, the JK4C will be headed by an officer of the rank of Inspector General of Police (IGP), who will function as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Centre. As part of the restructuring, the subject of cybercrime has been detached from the Crime Wing of J&K Police and will henceforth be exclusively handled by the JK4C. The Government has further ordered that the existing two Zonal Cyber Crime Investigation Centres of Excellence (CICEs) and 23 District Cyber Police Stations shall become integral components of the JK4C, thereby creating a unified and coordinated institutional mechanism for tackling cybercrime across the Union Territory. The order also stipulates that the proposal for creation of various posts required for the functioning of the JK4C shall be processed separately in accordance with the prescribed procedure after completion of all requisite formalities. Pending the creation and regular filling of sanctioned posts, the Police Headquarters, J&K, has been directed to deploy the required number of police personnel of the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) and below from the existing police strength to ensure the Centre becomes operational without delay. The Government has also approved the organizational structure, tentative staff strength, operational framework, workflow of various verticals, and the functions and responsibilities of different divisions and units of the JK4C, as detailed in the annexure accompanying the Government Order. The establishment of the JK4C is expected to significantly enhance the Union Territorys preparedness to address emerging cyber threats, improve inter-agency coordination, strengthen cybercrime investigations, and provide a more robust institutional framework for safeguarding citizens against cyber-enabled offences.
