Cybersecurity is a core problem we are facing today. We get daily threats in the form of social media messages, emails, WhatsApp, phone calls and more. Gone are days where we used to get emails with the subject You’ve won billion dollars. Nowadays, hackers are used direct phone calls to trap and steal money from people in the form of Digital Arrests. Even though PM Narendra Modi urged people not to believe in these types of threats, people like senior citizens are falling to the trap either due to lack of knowledge or fear. Moreover, the rapid emergence of AI has further created fear among people because stealers have started to employ this method as well.

In this context, you should be aware of various forms of threats and its resolution.
