3 Substandard devices: Inadequate security infrastructure.
You ever thought about what's cyber fraud, theft, warfare, terr0rism?
And how good or bad is India in tackling these crimes?
First let's first see what makes India vulnerable to cyber threats.
2 Widespread digital illiteracy makes Indian citizens highly susceptible to cyber fraud, theft, etc.
3 Substandard devices: Inadequate security infrastructure.
5 Under-reporting: People do not report cybercrime because of lack of awareness!
Now read some data regarding this
• Govt data shows that in 2019 alone, India witnessed 94 lakh instances of cybersecurity breaches.
1 Indian companies incurred an average of ₹140 million total costs of a data breach in 2020, an increase of 9.4% from 2019.
2 Top 3 root causes of data breaches were categorised as 53% malicious attack, 26% system glitch & 21% human error.
It was similar to "Stuxnet" virus attack on an Iranian nuclear facility in 2018!
According to Russia's Casper Sky Report, MSME sector in India is highly vulnerable!!
• In July 2016, a phishing email sent to an employee at Union Bank of India, hackers accessed the credentials to execute a fund transfer, unsuccessfully swindling Union Bank of India of $171 million.

Indian Americans at NASA
What % of Indians are working with NASA? If you think it's 36% then you're wrong.
#NASA has roughly 1% of Indian origin scientists.

The important point to note here is, these scientists are in leading positions at NASA!
Bhavya Lal was the seniormost White House appointee and Acting Chief of Staff at NASA for the first 100 days of the #Biden Administration.
Currently Bhavya Lal is Senior Advisor for Budget and Finance.

Remember US sent a Rover to Mars recently? The tougher task was to land it on the surface and Swati Mohan, an Indian origin scientist was leading the team!

And remember our mission Chandrayaaan 2? The tougher task was to land and we failed it in.
So do we really need to be proud of these brilliant Indian origin scientists working abroad? NO!
USA is successful, science is doing wonders, that's all great but India is losing skilled and brilliant minds!

The British Nuclear Policy In The 1970s. https://t.co/DE1A7e1SQ0
The British nuclear submarine-based deterrent initially came into service in the late 1960s, providing ultimately 4 ‘RESOLUTION’ class SSBNs, each carrying 16 Polaris missiles, with 3 warheads, intended to deter aggression by the Soviet Union.
The power of the Polaris system was that unlike fixed airfields & other sites, it was practically invulnerable to a first strike attack, & could exist to threaten to wipe out #Moscow & other major Soviet cities if required, even after UK had been obliterated in a nuclear attack.
In theory the UK nuclear deterrent was committed to @NATO – and would be employed alongside other NATO nuclear weapons if called upon as part of an integrated strike which would involve all out nuclear release.
This was the main role for the force, but in addition it could be, in theory, returned to national control and used to conduct a unilateral nuclear strike if British national survival was under threat.

This is the TOP SECRET paper from the 1970s, sets out how many nuclear warheads the British Royal Navy thought it could use to destroy Moscow in WW3.
