Kalaignar Karunanidhi Institute of Technology has established a National Cyber Defence Research Centre with help from the National Cyber Safety and Security Standards. A release from the college said that Justice T.N. Vallinayagam, former Judge, Madras High Court, who inaugurated the centre, said that young engineers should use their knowledge and skill to prevent cyber crimes. Recalling instances where hackers used personal details of innocent web users to withdraw money and trap them in crimes, he said details provided to email service providers or social networking sites were not really safe.
