Official email IDs of 11 officials of the Securities and Exchange Board of India were compromised by an unknown person who used them to send 34 emails in May. An FIR has been registered based on a complaint from a SEBI official and further investigation is on.
Earlier in May, a manager in the regulatory body claimed that someone illegally accessed his email account and sent an email to a person working in a private company, following which the IT department conducted an internal investigation.
The complainant told police that the unknown accused “stole SEBI’s electronic data and impersonated SEBI officials to send the emails and defamed SEBI”. The investigation found that some miscreants illegally gained access to 11 official email id accounts of 11 SEBI officials and used them to send 34 emails.
An FIR has been registered under Sections 419 (impersonation for cheating) of the Indian Penal Code, Section 43 A (accesses or secures access to such computer, computer system or computer network) and 66 C (identity theft) of the Information and Technology Act.
