DoT launches Digital Intelligence Portal, Chakshu’ facility to curb Cybercrimes and financial Frauds

March 5, 2024

Context: 

As a component of the Sanchar Saathi portal, the Department of Telecommunications introduced Chakshu and the Digital Intelligence Platform.

What is a Digital Intelligence Platform?

  • The Digital Intelligence Platform is an inter-agency initiative that facilitates the exchange of cybercriminal data among many parties, including banks, social media sites, and wallet providers.

About Chakshu

  • Reporting of Fraud: Citizens can report suspected fraudulent communication by using Chakshu, which allows users to report messages, numbers, and phishing attempts.
  • Method of reporting: Users can fill out a form with information about the fraud communication method, such as an SMS, call, or WhatsApp, by logging into the built-in Chakshu window on the Sanchar Saathi portal.
  • Specification: After that, users must specify which category the message falls into, including impersonation, phony KYC, sextortion, and bogus customer helplines.

Sanchar Saathi Portal

  • Aims: To raise awareness of government activities while strengthening mobile customers’ security and empowering them.
  • Launched in 2023
  • Nodal Agency: Department of Telecommunications (Ministry of Communication) made the introduction.
  • Verification of Connection: Individuals can confirm the mobile connections that are registered in their names by visiting the Sanchar Saathi portal. Users can verify the accuracy and legitimacy of the mobile connections linked to their identification with this service.
  • Blocking Stolen/Lost Phones: Users have the option to prohibit cell phones that have been reported stolen or lost. By preventing unauthorized use of lost or stolen devices, this feature improves security and lowers the possibility of abuse.
