A recent study by a Gurgaon-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) – Centre for Transforming India, has revealed that while over two dozen cyber crimes are committed on a daily basis, many go unreported and very few are registered with the police. The NGO said that due to this the estimated loss was around Rs. 200 crore annually to the IT industry.

Media reports have indicated that the cyber crime rate in Gurgaon has gone up from last year. In 2010, the number was around 100 and in the first five months of 2011, the number had gone up to 128 cases, indicating either that the crime rate has gone up or the reporting of such crime. The complaints included data theft by former employees, e-mail hacking, fraudulent transfer of funds, etc.
