With the rapid rise of digital payments, e-commerce, and social media, cybercrime in India has become a major concern. From phishing emails, fake job offers, OTP scams, to UPI frauds—criminals are exploiting technology to target unsuspecting users. Not just individuals, even businesses and government institutions have been victims of data breaches and ransomware attacks.

The Indian government has taken steps through laws like the Information Technology Act and initiatives such as the Cybercrime Helpline 1930, but public awareness remains the key defense.

To stay safe, users must avoid clicking on unknown links, use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and regularly update software. Cybersecurity is no longer optional—it’s essential. As cyber threats evolve, staying informed and cautious can help prevent financial loss and identity theft in the digital world.
