Dependence on Internet has become indispensable, more so with the advent of Covid-19 pandemic-induced lockdowns in early 2020. Now, corporates and schools have developed a hybrid model that offers flexible plans to work or study physically on premises with the option to do the same from home on some days in a week.

However, the online world is strewed with dangers too, if not careful, cyber crooks can wipe clean bank accounts or even hack computers to steal personal photos/videos for ransom or official sensitive information (corporate espionage).

It is also the duty of the companies such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, and others to make efforts to thwart threats on their platforms and they do with the timely release of security patches to respective products.
