Karnataka govt mulls tie-up with firms to nab cybercriminals

With the internet rendering borders redundant, cybercrime has been posing a huge challenge to law enforcement agencies, as a criminal sitting in one corner of the globe can rip off an individual in another part of the world with ease.

Now, the Karnataka government is mulling a framework agreement under which it will seek assistance from global companies to bring criminals to book.

In case a cybercrime originates from outside the country, authorities will approach a company with offices in both Bengaluru and the country of origin, which is expected to help in nabbing cybercriminals quickly.

Finer details of the process are being worked out, said authorities.
