Soon, cyber crimes can be solved at the click of a mouse
JAIPUR: Is someone sending obscene messages to your friends after hacking your email account? Has someone hacked your company’s data? If you are a victim of either of the cases, you will naturally be scratching your head to find ways to stop the misuse of your account and a place where you could file a complaint.
However, this will be a thing of past by the end of this month as help for such victims will be available at the click of a mouse. Sunny Vaghela, a cyber expert, is launching a website — cybersuraksha.org — under an NGO, CyberSuraksha, on the model of police public networking in Rajasthan.
“This website is dedicated to solving cyber crimes and create awareness about it. All you need to do is to post your complaints on the website which will be analysed by a team of ethical hackers, mostly city-based engineering students. The team will issue a list of suggestions for police on how the case can be solved effectively,” said Vaghela.
Vaghela has mastered the art of cracking codes and extracting information from servers based in other cities. He has given exact time and locations to the police department helping them in solving cyber cases. His biggest success was tracing the origin of the terror email sent by Indian Mujahideen minutes before the Ahmedabad serial blasts on July 26, 2008 and played a vital role in investigation of the same.
In a bid to prepare a force of ethical hackers to expose the web fraudsters, Vaghela has imparted training in 10 engineering colleges of the city. The NGO will be the first of its kind in the state and would be active from the last week of March. The cyber crimes in the city are restricted to data theft and fake profile impersonation. In future, the city will see a rise in such cases if necessary steps are not taken today, explained Vaghela.
Similarly, anti-terrorist squad, Mumbai sought his help in obtaining information on terror outfits based in Pakisthan in connection with 26/11 Mumbai attacks probe. “As the country has become vulnerable to terror attracts as terrorists use latest technology to carry out their operations. It is necessary for us to give them a tough fight,” said Vaghela, who owned a private cyber company.”
