ARE WE HEADING TOWARDS DIGITAL DISASTER????

Aadhaar authority has set a December 4 deadline for top mobile operator Bharti Airtel to explain why action must not be taken against it for allegedly opening bank accounts of its customers without their informed consent.
This is the tip of iceberg in GOI's most ambitious project wherein many elements are actively involved in exploiting loopholes in the digitalised systems and relentlessly working to fail this project ,the dream project of PM Narendra Modi.
I have been highlighting many times about the misdeeds of wallet companies as well as telecom payment gateways but unfortunately all the investigation agencies as well as government authorities turned the blind eye towards the same. There are very serious issues about other payment wallets regarding non-compliance of KYC and assisting fraudsters by not following reasonable security practices in spite of receiving notifications about the same. If these malpractices are not addressed to with immediate effect I believe that we are heading towards serious digital disaster!!!!!
There must be serious introspection about the haste in which we have migrated to digitalisation and on war-footing there has to be damage control exercise.
Cyber Awareness or Digital literacy is the core issue which has been grossly neglected and I hope should be the one of the answer to this issue.

Many Businessmen harassed by so called Consumer Complaint Forums; Are you one of them?

Cyber crime helpline has been receiving many complaints from people from all the walks of life. Recently we have observed that there is enormous growth in complaints related to fake complaints uploading on various so called consumer redress online forums. The complainant is running from post to pillar to remove such false and baseless allegations made on such portals but their all efforts are going in vein and they are unable to remove such posts and have to suffer huge business loss due to such mischievous and defamatory postings.
In country like India,where digitalisation is growing at unimaginable speed and magnitude such false online propaganda or complaint against any business may cause tremendous financial as well as reputation harm to emerging business ventures. It has been also observed that mostly these mischievous posts are handiwork of disgruntled employee or business rivals or some jealous persons who does not digest rise of a business idea. But the businesses who suffer from such acts ,who will help them?
Present day criminals are finding this cyber space as a safe heaven for them due to very poor knowledge of Law enforcing agencies in this matter and hence we are receiving many complaints in this regard.
If you are victim of above described matter please write to us on info@cyberorgindia.com or mahendralimaye@yahoo.com as we are planning to file Public Interest Litigation in this regard to block such mischievous portals ,most of which are based out of India.
