200% rise in cyber incidents in 2 months; not attributable to China: Official

Cyber incidents in India have seen a 200% rise in the last two months but aren't linked to China, PMO's Chief Information Security Officer Gulshan Rai said. He said the rise is attributed to people "mindlessly" downloading unverified applications that may lack security features. "There have been larger cases of phishing, service issues and ransomware which have increased," he said.
