The Indian cyber landscape is evolving at lightning speed. From government crackdowns to new financial scams, staying informed is no longer a choice—it's a necessity. Here’s your exclusive rundown of the latest happenings and a guide on where the community is gathering.
🔥 Latest News & Alerts (As of Nov 6, 2025)
- RBI's New Crackdown on "Digital Lending Apps": The Reserve Bank of India, in a joint operation with the CBI, has dismantled a major network of 22 fraudulent loan apps. These apps, which were on the Google Play Store until last week, were involved in extortion and data theft. If you have information on the developers behind apps like "FlashCash" or "KreditBee," this is a major topic of discussion.
- Aadhaar Data Breach Claims Surface on Dark Web: A new seller on a prominent dark web forum is claiming to have a database of 80 crore Aadhaar records linked to phone numbers. While the UIDAI has denied any breach, the sample data is being scrutinized by security researchers. This is a critical alert for all members to enable 2FA on all linked bank and government portals.
- Rise of "UPI Payment Reversal" Scams: A new social engineering tactic is sweeping across India. Scammers call victims, pretending to be from their bank, and trick them into initiating a "UPI collect request" instead of a payment. The victim approves the request, thinking they are receiving money, but actually sends it. Spread awareness: Never approve a "collect request" from an unknown number.
- Indian Govt. Launches "Cyber Suraksha" Bug Bounty Program: The government has officially launched a bug bounty program for its critical infrastructure, including the IRCTC, DigiLocker, and GSTN portals. Cash rewards range from ₹50,000 to ₹10 Lakh for critical vulnerabilities. A golden opportunity for Indian ethical hackers.
