It takes a Google search to put a finger on Jamtara. It is a sleepy district tucked away somewhere in northeast Jharkhand, barely over 1,800 square kilometers in expanse. In 2006 the government listed Jamtara as one of India's 250 most backward districts.
Here's the quirk, then: Jamtara town, which forms the hub of such a backward domain, is widely nicknamed India's phishing capital. Over 50 per cent of phishing scams happening in the country are executed from this remote backyard of nothingness.
Soumendra Padhi's web series tries delving into the reality that drives such an irony, with focus on creating drama and suspense. Simply put, phishing is a crime that requires very little investment -- a dispensable cellphone and a sim card. The caller, posing as a bank official, must also have the adroit conversational skill to dig out identity details pertaining to the victim's bank account or debit card. Often, educated...
