institutions or for the purpose of committing financial crimes.
•An important feature of this type of offence is that the
alteration is so small that it would normally go unnoticed.

Amount Like Rs. 2.50 Per Month From The Account Of All

crime and its hackers will continue developing
and upgrading to stay ahead of the law.
So, to make us a safer we must need cyber
