It will also focus on technical attribution, digital evidence collection and coordination with telecom operators, internet intermediaries and email service providers.
The D4C will also have a dedicated Online Crimes against Women and Children Wing, tasked with prevention, detection and coordination of action against technology-enabled offences affecting women and children.
