Telangana has emerged as the leading state in cyber attacks in India, according to the “India Cyber Threat Report 2025” by the Data Security Council of India (DSCI). The report reveals that Tamil Nadu and Delhi are next in line, with the banking, financial services, healthcare, and hospitality sectors facing the brunt of these attacks. Telangana’s prominence in cyber incidents is attributed to its high rate of digital adoption and robust IT infrastructure, making it a significant target for cybercriminals. The report also highlights an increasing number of attacks in Tier 2 cities, a worrying trend that suggests hackers are exploiting weaker cybersecurity frameworks in smaller urban centers. Experts emphasize the need for enhanced security measures and awareness to combat this growing menace. With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated, proactive steps are crucial to safeguard critical sectors and bolster national cybersecurity resilience.
