Digital House Arrest
Context
The term "digital house arrest" was recently popularized by cybercriminals who are always coming up with new schemes to defraud people in the ever expanding digital world.
About
- Cybercriminals use a technique called "Digital House Arrest" to extort victims by keeping them captive at home.
- By using AI-generated voice or video calls to impersonate police or authorities and by suggesting that the victim has done something wrong with their Aadhaar or phone number, the scammers create a climate of dread.
- By making individuals dread being arrested and making them pay a fee, they jail them in their own houses.
