During a speech on July 13, Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his concerns to the global community about the evolving security challenges posed by cyber criminals using technologies such as metaverse, deepfakes, ransomware, and cryptocurrency. He urged G20 countries to work together to combat these crimes, proposing measures such as uniformity in laws, response mechanisms, and greater coordination among cyber agencies.

Mr. Shah emphasized the importance of an integrated and stable approach to cyber security policies, while warning against excessive freedom or isolationist structures. He also recommended sharing real-time cyber threat intelligence among member countries with support from industry and academia.
