India witnessed 13.91 Lakh cyber security incidents in 2022, Minister of State for Electronics and Information and Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar informed the Parliament on Friday (February 10).
Because these statistics only include information reported to and tracked by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, they do not provide an accurate picture of cyberattacks on the country (CERT-In). However, the number of reported cyberattacks fell in 2022, from 14.02 lakhs in 2021. According to government statistics, 2.08 million incidents were reported in 2018, 3.94 million attacks occurred in 2018, and 11.58 million cybersecurity incidents were reported to CERT-In in 2020.
