Bangalore  : The McAfee Report (global) on ‘confronting the cyber attacks”, has cited India where it found 60% of respondents having been made victims of extortion, reflecting more on costs and cyber attacks made on critical forms of infrastructure, involving losses during 2009 and 2010. India ranked 4th in the matter of lowest levels of security adopted to check such mean attacks, after Brazil, France and Mexico.
Critical infrastructure relates to computers run on power grids, railways and nuclear energy plants that attract as strong target for criminal threats, industrial espionage, and politically motivated sabotage.
India is one of the global 14 countries covered by the survey. The adoption against threats received, left much to be desired.
