Digital Data Protection Bill can help fight identify theft: Ravindra

Hyderabad: With data theft being in the headlines ever since the scam broke out, Deccan Chronicle caught up with Cyberabad commissioner M. Stephen Ravindra on the issue. He dwelt in detail about what data theft was all about, its effects on individuals, economy, national security and the preventive measures to thwart future thefts and the rights of individuals allowing companies to use their data. Data like that of frequent flyers could also give out details of some VVIPs involved in national security aspects, which is otherwise highly confidential. If the Digital Data Protection Bill is passed, the responsibility increases on companies collecting the data of individuals and the entire burden to protect the data would also be on them.
