The following has been stated: -
•The Department of Telecommunications (DoT), in collaboration with Telecom Service Providers (TSPs), has introduced an advanced system designed to identify and block incoming international spoofed calls before they can reach Indian telecom subscribers.
•This system is being deployed in two phases: first, at the TSP level, to prevent calls spoofed with phone numbers of their subscribers; and second, at a central level, to stop calls spoofed with the numbers of subscribers from other TSPs.
•The Chakshu facility is a significant step towards safeguarding citizens from cyber fraud. By providing a streamlined process for reporting suspicious activities, it helps in the early detection and prevention of potential frauds, thereby protecting users from financial and personal losses.
