He said that in today’s times every person who uses internet is prone to become a victim of cybercrime. While saying so he cited an example of a victim who was browsing an innocent looking website and became prey to a cyber criminal .He further mentioned a few cases like the organ trade case where the victim saw an Ad on social media for the need of organ and how the fraudster sent him home after taking the organ and paid him 10% of the promised amount of money. Similarly youth are attracted by cybercriminals for technical jobs but they end up becoming criminals as they are forced to commit Cyber Crimes.
He added that vulnerability of a person to cybercrime can be reduced to a great extent if they use an alphanumeric special character inclusive, complicated password for all their online accounts that is difficult to crack by fraudsters online. Password he said must be changed once in three months and one should never use easy passwords which is a common mistake committed by many people. While specifying about vulnerability to cybercrime he mentioned the various steps taken by Telangana State Police to combat Cyber Crime.
