New Delhi: Are you getting missed calls, messages, calls, WhatsApp texts or calls from numbers starting with +254, +84, +63 or other international numbers? “Report and block,” say experts. The alert is being circulated by the Home Ministry’s Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) so that innocent people do not become victims of cybercrime.
Report quoted a couple of experts in the cybercrime business, who raised serious concerns over the recent trend. “These numbers are mostly originating from Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia. People across India, irrespective of their profession, have been receiving calls and missed calls on WhatsApp from +254, +63, +84, +(218) or other international numbers,” an expert in cyber intelligence and digital forensic said.
