India’s plan at UN cybercrime panel seeks right to ask data from nations

India has proposed to a UN ad hoc committee that all signatory member nations allow other countries to request phone, email and other subscriber information as well as traffic data of their residents necessary in some specific cybercrime investigations and proceedings, sources told ET.

The idea of the proposal, a senior government official said, was to develop a process that will help in cybercrime investigation and provide speedy access to data given the increasing pace of cybercrimes globally.
