You must agree with me on this: college life isn’t what it used to be. A decade or two ago, there were no smartphones, no social media, no online games, and definitely no AI tools shaping daily life. Today, everything is just a click away, and for students embarking on their college journey, the digital world is just as important as the real one. While staying connected has its advantages, the downside is that cybercriminals are also more connected than ever, waiting for the right moment to strike.   The Digital Risks College Students Face   College students are among the most vulnerable to cyber threats. Their frequent use of digital platforms, reliance on public Wi-Fi, and general lack of awareness about cybersecurity make them easy targets. Here’s how cybercriminals exploit students: Phishing Scams: Fake emails from banks, social media, or even their own college

Get an insight on how to get back your hacked email account and stop hackers from further targeting it. According to a report from Kaspersky, over 50% of cyber attacks in India last year were phishing-related, with a large portion of these attacks coming through email. An alarming one, right? Are you also waking up to a nightmare—where you see your email account being hacked? Seems natural in today's scenario. It’s one of those nightmares we all dread—finding out that your email account has been hacked. At first, you might not even realize something’s wrong until a friend or colleague tells you they’ve received strange emails from your account. Scammers often target email accounts to send out deceptive messages, hoping to trick others into clicking on malicious links, handing over personal information, or even sending money. What’s scary is that once hackers gain access

Do you also travel often because of business? Or even for your personal work? And use Free Wi-Fi, or click on any given link without giving a second thought? Okay, then let's imagine this: You’re at an airport, waiting to board your flight. You quickly connect to the free Wi-Fi to check your emails and download an important presentation. Later, at your hotel, you plug your phone into a public charging station because your battery is running low. The next morning, while sipping coffee at a café, you log into your company’s secure portal to approve a few pending transactions. Seems like a routine business trip, right? But what if I told you that in just 24 hours, you may have unknowingly exposed your sensitive data to cybercriminals? Surprised? Now, let's get to the real picture: It may be the case that the free

Have you ever stopped to think about how much personal information you leave behind every time you go online? Every website you visit, every search you make, every file you download—it all adds to your digital footprint. Even after deleting files or clearing your browser history, traces of your online activity still linger. And in today's digital world, that's a serious problem. India has seen an explosion in digital activity over the past decade, with more people shopping online, using social media, and relying on cloud storage. But with this rapid digitization comes an increased risk of data breaches, identity theft, and unauthorized surveillance. Cybercriminals and data brokers are constantly on the lookout for personal information—be it financial details, browsing habits, or sensitive documents—often recovering so-called "deleted" files with ease. A recent report from India's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) highlighted that

Worse still, a third party could be watching your purchase, ready to exploit your financial details. Approximately 83% of those targeted suffered financial losses. (Source: Tenable Report, 2023). Yes, this is the new trend among scammers during this lovey-dovey season. While you’re engrossed in finding the perfect gift or deal online, you might unknowingly land on fraudulent websites.

But have you ever paused to question whether these emails are from legitimate businesses or a ploy to access your bank account? This is why I

The internet has become an integral part of our daily lives, connecting billions of users worldwide. With this ever-growing connectivity comes the responsibility to ensure a safer and more secure online environment. Recognizing this need, Safer Internet Day, celebrated on February 11th, is a global initiative to promote digital safety and encourage responsible online behavior. With nearly 7 billion smartphone users worldwide and almost 60% of global web traffic coming from mobile devices, cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting people's reliance on connectivity. Financial frauds, phishing scams, and data breaches have become rampant. In India alone, over 75% of cybercrimes in 2023 were financial frauds, with half of these cases linked to Internet banking and UPI transactions. According to government statistics, over 4.30 billion cybersecurity breaches targeting financial organizations were recorded in the first half of 2023 alone. A report by the Reserve Bank

Modern life requires security, and today, data is the lifeblood of any individual or business. The risk of unauthorized access and data breaches is always looming. In India, the rise of cybercrimes has been alarming, with over 77,000 reported cybercrime cases in 2024, a stark increase from just 9,622 in 2014. This surge reflects the heightened risk of data theft, breaches, and unauthorized access to sensitive information. In one of the most significant breaches, 66.9 crore individuals were affected by a data leak in April 2023. This breach serves as a reminder of the critical need for robust data deletion methods when disposing of old devices. With the rise in technology, the data generation and storage rate also grows simultaneously. But the threat that looms around needs to be catered smartly.
