Maha Kumbh: A feast for digi-fraudsters
Mint New Delhi
|January 10, 2025
Two weeks ago, the police booked four men operating fraudulent accommodation booking websites
The Maha Kumbh Mela, being held after 144 years, is expected to attract not just 40-45 million pilgrims to the most populous district in India's most populous state but also an army of digital fraudsters.
Scamsters have already made victims out of several devotees using basic tech such as fake websites purportedly offering accommodation and other Kumbh Mela-related services, besides WhatsApp and digital accounts to collect payments.
Cyber consultants Aon, mFilterIt, and Quick Heal warn the Maha Kumbh Mela could see more sophisticated cyberattacks as well.
