Cybercrime and cyber attacks in Meghalaya
Police in Meghalaya registered 97 cybercrime cases in 2024 (up 52% on 2023), or 2.9 per lakh people: well below the national rate of 7.3. That ranks Meghalaya 20th of 35 states and union territories.
Cybercrime cases, 2020 to 2024
Cases registered by police, from NCRB’s Crime in India as given to Parliament (PIB). Cases, not complaints: far more people report fraud than reach a police case.
Ransomware, past 12 months
No ransomware victims were placed in this state in the past 12 months. That does not mean none were hit: a victim is placed on the map only when its head office can be confirmed.
