TSCOP, a Telangana police App, was allegedly hacked within a week after the department’s HawkEye app was compromised. The recently launched T Safe app was also hacked. The hackers have posted sample data on the dark web. Interestingly, TSCOP was awarded ‘Empowering Police with Information Technology’ by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) in 2017. The website is currently temporarily shut down.
