Survey flags cyber-fraud risk in 10 Uttar Pradesh districts
An analysis of video-KYC onboarding data from about 130 districts identified elevated cyber-fraud risk in several Uttar Pradesh areas, including Bareilly, Lakhimpur Kheri and Varanasi. NDTV reported that 10 districts were facing high activity risk, but the supplied material does not list all 10.
Ten districts in Uttar Pradesh were identified as facing a high risk of cyber-fraud activity in a survey reported by NDTV. The analysis used video-KYC onboarding data from around 130 districts. Bareilly, Lakhimpur Kheri and Varanasi were among the places showing elevated risk, according to the report.
The data source means the analysis examined patterns connected with video-based know-your-customer onboarding. The supplied material does not explain the methodology, the period covered or the threshold used to classify a district as high risk. It also does not provide the names of the remaining districts, the number of suspected incidents or a breakdown by type of fraud.
No response from police, banks, technology companies or residents is included. The findings therefore indicate areas highlighted by the survey rather than a reported count of confirmed crimes. Further details of the analysis are not available in the supplied source material.
