India proposes 24×7 global communication link to curb cybercrimes

India has proposed using a round-the-clock global communication channel between countries to combat rising instances of phishing by “rendering phishing links inaccessible and identifying the abused information technology (IT) resources and the malicious actors”.

The proposal is part of India’s submission to a draft treaty on prevention of cybercrime, which is being deliberated upon by an ad-hoc committee of the United Nations (UN).

ET has seen a copy of India’s proposal, which was presented in the January 29-February 9 meeting of the ad-hoc UN committee.
