Hyderabad, July 25 (UNI) The Telangana Police are focusing on building the capacity of the police personnel for the Dark Web investigation to deal with rising cybercrime. With the steep rise in cyber crimes and cyber perpetrators resorting to sophisticated cyber attacks, through Deep and Dark Web, hacking, and cryptocurrencies, the cyber world has turned out to be tough digital terrain for the law enforcement agencies to investigate and apprehend the perpetrators as most of the crimes are being committed from remote countries.
To deal with this alarming trend, the Telangana Intelligence Department, in association with Convergence Innovation Labs, is working to synergize the capacity-building program of the police personnel in Telangana.Convergence Innovation
