RBI website's traffic soared 14 times after demonetisation
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI's) website was hit by 14 times more traffic than usual after PM Narendra Modi demonetised ₹500 and ₹1,000 notes, according to website traffic tool SimilarWeb. RBI's website was even down for a short while a day after the announcement. To ensure its website isn't attacked, RBI asks suspected visitors to authenticate themselves through captcha.
