About

Jamtara is a city and a notified area in Jamtara district in the Indian state of Jharkhand. It is the district headquarters. Jamtara is a district of Jharkhand State and people here speak Hindi,Santali and Bengali languages. 


It is also nick named as phishing capital of India. It got this title because of the fact that there were numerous incidents of phishing across country whose center point was this small town. In the span of two years between April 2015 and March 2017, police from 12 Indian states reportedly made 23 journeys to Jamtara. They did so to investigate cybercrimes — primarily phishing that were emanating from one of the most underdeveloped districts, which at the height of its infamy in 2017, buoyed by the effects of demonetisation, was responsible for 80 percent of them by some estimates. Those involved had bought luxury SUVs and put up fancy bungalows next to ramshackle cottages. And with few opportunities in a poverty-stricken country, phishing became a household business in Jamtara.
