The article is a government-favourable overview with no technical detail: it claims the Financial Fraud Risk Indicator has thwarted an estimated Rs 6,500 crore in fraud, and that daily spam calls fell 99% after telecom regulators disconnected numbers associated with spamming. Calling Name Presentation is cited as a caller identification measure. No CVEs, methodology or independent figures are given, so the statistics should be treated as unverified.
