‘Be aware and remain safe from cybercrime’

In the digital world today, internet is the largest information exchange tool. Anybody in any part of the world is able to know about other’s personal data unless appropriate security precautions are taken, said Chief Secretary Asit Tripathy launching a Cybercrime Awareness Week here on Monday.

Tripathy said, “People irrespective of their educational background, need to be aware and remain safe against falling victim to cybercrimes. The criminals adopt different techniques like spam scams, malicious applications, click jacking and phishing.”

One can save himself or herself by being aware about “what not to do” in case of internet and online dealing, the Chief Secretary added.

Home Department Principal Secretary Sanjeev Chopra said, “Cyber space is a mirror of the real world and its expanding rapidly day by day”.
