[HIB]There are 40,000 hackers in China

While the Government of India is keen to deliver a number of services to its people by using information and communication technology (ICT) tools, it is highly worried about prevention of data that it would generate from cyber criminals, especially in China. “We have proposed to impose heavy penalties for unauthorized access, impersonation, tampering and manipulating of Aadhar data and unlawful disclosure of the same. However, in the world of Internet, we have to be cautious from various threat arising, especially from outside of the nation,” said RS Sharma, director general and mission director, Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), while speaking at a symposium organized by Centre for Railway Information System (CRIS) here today. “It is estimated that there are 40,000 professionals in China whose single purpose is to hack. We have to be cautious about it,” he warned. CRIS, as part of CRIS Day celebrations, today organized symposium on implementation of information technology in government departments for sharing experience of IT implementation in railways.
