STF issues new guidelines to identify fake websites

Stating that cyber criminals are now creating ‘secured’ websites that appear completely genuine to a user, the cyber police station of Uttarakhand Special Task Force (STF) issued new guidelines to identify such fake websites. The cyber criminals these days are not just finding new ways of committing cyber frauds but are upgrading their methods to ensure they can lure maximum victims, said the deputy superintendent of police of cyber cell police station, STF, Ankush Mishra. Many such cyber criminal groups have been targeting pilgrims during Char Dham Yatra to make bookings for helicopter services via their fake websites. The STF has blocked dozens of such fake websites in the past two months but the cyber criminals have started creating new websites that appear secure and genuine to users.
