1. NATIONAL SECURITY Data Privacy & Emerged Threats THE HACKERS MEETUP SEP 5, 2020
2. ABOUT ME NITIN PANDEY Cyber Security Professional Chairman of National Information Security Council Founder of Hackers Day htttp://nitinpandey.tech
3. OUR DATA PRIVACY IS A MAJOR CHALLENGE WE ARE LIVING IN VIRTUAL WORLD WHERE OUR EACH AND EVERY ACTIVITY IS BEING MONITORED BY THE APPS WE USE. WE SHOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE SHARING ANYTHING PUBLICLY & INSTALLING ANY APP.
4. DATA REALLY MATTERS! DATA IS THE NEW GOLD ! HAVING ACCESS TO DATA GIVES ONE THE ABILITY TO ACCESS & CONTROL SOMEONE’S IDs, BANK ACCOUNTS & ALL SORTS OF OTHER INFORMATIONS.
5. DATA PRIVACY MAXIMUM USES OF SMART PHONES AN ADVANTAGE TO COMPANIES
6. CHINESE APPS BANNED ON JUNE 29,2020, GOI BANNED 59 CHINESE APPS INCLUDING “TIKTOK” WHICH WAS A MUCH APPRECIATIVE STEP TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA TO PROTECT OUR DATA & PRIVACY.
7. A GOOD MOVE TO PROTECT OUR PRIVACY
9. SECTION 69A OF IT ACT GIVES GOVERNMENT THE POWER TO ISSUE DIRECTIONS FOR BLOCKING FOR PUBLIC ACCESS OF ANY INFORMATION THROUGH ANY COMPUTER OR MOBILE RESOURCE.
10. WAS IT SUFFICIENT TO PROTECT OUR PRIVACY & DATA?
11. ON SEP 2, 2020 GOVERNMENT BANNED 118 MORE CHINESE APPS INCLUDING “PUBG”
12. INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES DID LOTS OF RESEARCHES & HARD WORK TO PROTECT OUR NATIONAL SECURITY
13. PEOPLE DIED WHILE MAKING TIKTOK VIDEOS
14. PUBG MAKES TEENS VOILENT & AGGRESSIVE
15. DANGEROUS APPS !  APPS LIKE TIKTOK & GAMES LIKE PUBG WERE TOO MUCH DANGEROUS  CHANGE IN BEHAVIOUR OF USERS  TOOK SO MANY LIVES  USERS WERE SO MUCH ADDICTIVE
16. CONTROVERSIES STARTED WHEN
17. SO MANY POLITICIANS & YOUTH HAVE STARTED TARGETING GOVERNMENT WITH THEIR FAMOUS DIALOGUE: “CHINA IS OCCUPYING LAND AND INDIA BANS PUBG !” WHY POLITICIZING A GOOD STEP?
18. PUBG PLAYERS ARE CRITICIZING GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR BANNING PUBG WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT BEHIND BANNING THESE APPS, PEOPLE ARE SAYING: “PUBG IS A KOREAN GAME, NOT CHINESE!” I
19. WHEN WE START PUBG THE FIRST NAME WE SEE ON SCREEN IS TENCENT I
20. TENCENT TENCENT HOLDINGS LTD, ALSO KNOWN AS TENCENT, IS A CHINESE BASED MULTINATIONAL COMPANY FOUNDED IN 1998. I
21. IS PUBG BAN IS GOING TO HURT CHINA? YES ! A LOT I
22. PUBG IS WORLD’S ONE OF THE LARGEST MOBILE & PC GAMES WITH A HUGE NUMBER OF USERS BASE OF 50 MILLION DOWNLOADS & 33 MILLION ACTIVE USERS. PUBG IS OWNED BY KRAFTON, A SOUTH KOREAN COMPANY. I
23. THE CHINESE CONNECTION “GAME FOR PEACE” IS A CHINESE VERSION OF PUBG MOBILE, LAUNCHED BY TENCENT, A CHINESE COMPANY. BETWEEN 2017-2018, TENCENT SUBSIDIARY IMAGE FRAME INVESTMENT BECAME KRAFTON’S 2ND LARGEST SHAREHOLDER, WITH A 13.2% STAKE. HENCE, THE CHINESE CONNECTION ! I
24. HOW BANNING PUBG WILL HELP INDIA? FIRSTLY, ECONOMY! WE STOP THE OUTFLOW OF FUNDS TO OVERSEAS & THAT’S MAINLY CHINA. IT WILL ALSO GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO INDIAN IT COMPANIES TO VENTURE INTO GAMING WORLD, WHICH HAS BEEN ALMOST NON-EXISTENT SO FAR. I
25. ANOTHER MAJOR THING IS THE INTELLIGENCE & DATA ISSUE. WITH SO MANY APPS ENGRAINED IN INDIAN PHONES & A HUGE PORTION OF THEM ON CHINESE PHONES ITSELF, IT IS VERY EASY FOR CHINA TO ACCESS THE DATA OF INDIVIDUAL USERS. I
26. AS SAID EARLIER, DATA IS THE NEW GOLD & MOST PRECIOUS THING FOR ANY COMPANY, THEREFORE THE GAMING COMPANIES EASILY MINE DATA & SELL IT TO THIRD PARTIES FOR LARGE AMOUNTS. I
27. THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA REALLY DID A GREAT JOB OF NIPPING THESE PROBLEMS IN THE BUD. LET’S NOT GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO THE ENEMY CYBER MILITIA & ITS UNITS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR CITIZENS. I
28. ON GAMERS BEHALF ! THIS BAN ON PUBG IS INDEED TAKING AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHAT THEY ENJOY. SO, A GOOD STRATEGY WOULD BE TO DEVELOP OUR OWN CONTENT & PROVIDE A PLATFORM TO INDIAN GAMERS. I
29. CONCLUSION I

37. LACK OF AWARENESS ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS IS LACK OF AWARENESS IN CITIZENS AGAINST CYBER THREATS WHY HAPPENING?
