KANPUR: Days after Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) lost Rs 55 lakh to a phishing attack, the state police's crime branch shot off an urgent email, with crucial information about the fraud, to the Interpol, Union ministry of external affairs, and Reserve Bank of India, said deputy commissioner of police (DCP)-Crime Ashish Srivastava.

Information shared by the crime branch included screenshots of email exchanges, details of a New York-based bank account used by the fraudsters, and the fake domain name and email ID used to deceive the state-run aerospace manufacturer, the DCP added.
