India and US Sign Agreement to Strengthen Cybercrime Investigations

The new pact enhances cooperation on cyber threat intelligence, digital forensics, and shared security challenges.

The Biden administration and Indian officials signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on January 17, 2025, to bolster collaboration in cybercrime investigations.
The agreement focuses on sharing cyber threat intelligence, digital forensics expertise, and training between the two nations' agencies.
Key areas of cooperation include addressing terrorism, violent extremism, terror financing, drug trafficking, and other cross-border crimes.
India's Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) and the US Department of Homeland Security, including its Cyber Crimes Center, will implement the pact.
This move reflects the growing strategic partnership between India and the US, following the recent removal of US restrictions on Indian nuclear entities.
