With such critical cyber infrastructure, India is a hot destination for the hackers. There was a time when India was known as spam capital in the virtual world. While during the same time, the neighboring countries of India have seen a good amount of drop in spam. During the year 2014, India was placed sixth in spam. While if we aggregate spam, malware attacks, phishing hosts and added bots India was third in being victim of cyber crime.
