He further adds the authorities have found that around 42 more web domains have been registered, including “actionfraud.info” &amp; “department-fruad.com”.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
The agency urged citizens and internet users who fall prey to report from their respective channels and hotlines. The concerned institution says it has restricted around 300k websites due to reports.

Since the past few quarters, online scams and frauds have severely affected almost every sector and industry, especially the<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/02/08/ethereum-crypto-can-eth-price-jump-above-the-supply-zone/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> crypto industry</a>.&nbsp; 
The standard type of cyber attack is when bad actors send some notification to the target device. If the notification gets tapped by default, the mastermind receives access to the user’s system and will access the same from remote locations.&nbsp; 
One of the most talked about data thefts is the theft that occurred with Trezor, a hardware crypto wallet manufacturer. Following the breach, it was discovered that hackers got the data of over 66,000 users.&nbsp; 
The incident became more popular when over 40 users of Trezor reported that they were constantly receiving phishing emails, threat notes in emails, and emails requesting confidential information regarding login details. 
However, blockchain safeguarding and overviewing firms claim that almost every single day, thousands of citizens lose their data that was supposed to be protected.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Yahoo 2013 data breach is termed the most significant data breach in decades, and till today, the platform faces allegations that it failed to protect the data of 3 Billion users.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
The Facebook(2019) data breach was another highly alarming attack. In this breach, the company lost more than 500 Million confidential data.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Dozens of countries are on the path to develop an in-house shield from hacks and other thefts. Still, the constant advancement of technology benefits scammers by allowing them to conduct scams more efficiently.
