The internet is here to stay, so let’s ensure your place in it is secure.

Technology is now a big part of our daily lives. We use it for everything - from sharing family photos online to managing business money. The internet makes life easier, but it also brings dangers. More and more criminals are using the internet to steal from people and companies. They can take your personal information, money, and damage your reputation.

Here's a scary fact: Someone tries to hack a computer every 39 seconds. In 2023, when a company's data was stolen, it cost them about $4.45 million to fix the problem. Small businesses were attacked nearly half the time. Regular people face these dangers too. For example, criminals have taken over people's Facebook accounts to trick their friends, and local businesses have lost money when hackers locked them out of their customer lists. This shows that everyone needs to protect themselves online, not just big companies or tech experts.

In India, scammers have created havoc by exploiting people through fake investment opportunities, digital arrest scams, and KYC update frauds. Innocent people fall victim due to their limited understanding of the internet and modern technology. Both senior citizens and young people have suffered losses—the elderly losing their life savings while youngsters lose their initial investments.

Why Should You Care?

Imagine waking up to find your savings drained because you shared your OTP with a scammer who claimed your electricity connection would be disconnected, or that you had contraband items held at customs.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated our reliance on digital tools, but it also opened floodgates for cybercriminals. Remote work, online shopping, and social media have blurred the lines between our personal and professional lives. A single weak password, an overlooked software update, or an innocent-looking phishing email can cascade into disaster.
