India's Proposed SIM-Binding Mandate Raises Concerns
A new study suggests the measure could disrupt consumers and MSMEs, increase business costs, and offer limited cybersecurity benefits.
The proposed SIM-binding mandate in India has raised concerns among consumers, micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), and cybersecurity experts, according to a recent study by the Esya Centre.
The study found that the mandate could disrupt consumers and MSMEs, increase business costs, and offer limited cybersecurity benefits, leaving phishing, malware, and other cyber threats unchecked.
