An account of the anatomy of cybercrime serves as a warning
THESE ARE TIMES when headlines are filled with stories of digital-arrest scams, Jamtara-style phishing rackets and shadowy call centres preying on vulnerable people across borders.
Technology has opened doors which were once unimaginable, but it has also thrown open new corridors for high-tech crime. Every smartphone notification carries both opportunity and risk, and the rise of cyber syndicates presents a reminder that even dreams of a better life can become traps. Shailendra Jha’s Press 9 for a Crime is set against this contemporary backdrop, and, therefore, feels familiar as it mirrors the reality one hears or reads about almost every day.
This story is from the December 21, 2025 edition of Financial Express Bengaluru.
