In our digital world, data is precious, and recovering it can be critical. Here’s a guide to help you weigh your options and make the best choice.   Understanding Data Recovery Data recovery is the process of retrieving lost, inaccessible, or corrupted data from storage devices such as hard drives, SSDs, or memory cards.

Have you ever received an email from a brand you trust that felt a bit off, or maybe it seemed overly urgent? If so, you might have encountered a phishing attempt. Common signs include typos, aggressive language urging you to act quickly, and suspicious links leading to unsecured websites. Surprisingly, over 75% of online scams start with such emails. When scammers impersonate a trusted brand to steal your information, it’s known as Clone Phishing. These deceptive messages often contain harmful links and attachments that can compromise your cybersecurity. India, has seen over 79 million phishing attacks, placing it third globally after the US and the UK, with the technology sector being the most targeted. As organizations enhance their phishing awareness training, attackers adapt their tactics to bypass these defenses. Clone phishing, similar to thread hijacking, involves replicating a genuine email and resending it

Did you recently buy a new computer during the holiday season? It must have come equipped with a Free Antivirus Software trial, extending for a month or more. While this initial protection is a valuable addition, relying solely on free antivirus software may leave you inadequately defended. For a more robust shield against cyber threats, it's advisable to explore beyond the offerings of free antivirus applications. Neglecting to employ antivirus protection puts your personal information, data, and even your bank account at risk. In a recent study, India witnessed a significant surge in cyberattacks in the first quarter of 2024, with a substantial 20% of internet users becoming victims of cyber threats, highlighting the growing vulnerability of online users in the country. During the same timeframe, a significant proportion of users were exposed to online dangers, with 22.9% facing web-based threats, while 20.1%

With 5.3 million compromised accounts, India ranked fifth among the nations with the most breaches in 2023. There is a constant warning about the dangers of viruses, malware, and hackers. But there's another type of cyber threat that is far more personal and manipulative: ‘Social Engineering.’ While most of us think of cyber threats as technical, social engineering is different—it targets human psychology, not just technology. Want to know how? Let’s dwell into this-   What is Social Engineering? Social engineering is essentially the art of manipulating people into giving up confidential information. Unlike traditional hacking, which focuses on exploiting technical vulnerabilities, social engineering preys on human vulnerabilities. It’s a type of psychological manipulation where attackers trick individuals into revealing sensitive data, such as passwords, bank information, or even access to secure systems. This kind of attack can happen to anyone, anywhere. You might

Have you ever thought of being arrested in your vicinity? You are not held captive physically but mentally, under the pressure of doing something illegal that actually did not happen. This is the present scenario Indian people have been facing in the last few months. A situation of chaos and tension that leads to the transfer of hefty funds in the name of the Police or CBI sounds utterly disgusting. But this is happening, and people are suffering badly because of the fraudsters. In a report published by the RBI (Reserve Bank of India), it was revealed that bank fraud exceeded Rs.30k crore in FY23. In the past decade, bank fraud has risen beyond expectation, with 65,017 cases and a sum of Rs.4.69 million. Cybercriminals use new and advanced tactics to deceive individuals and organizations. One new fraudulent method that is becoming popular among

Terror not only comes from gunshots and physical crime. These days, online crime is giving humans a big-time terror attack. Have you encountered any such? So, many of you must have, and so many must still be, safe from online terror, which, in fact, is very good. But you need to be cautious. One such online terror that is giving businesses, governments, and individuals a big-time terror attack is called Data Breach or Data Leak. A little lack of precaution can lead to unexpected results, leading to sensitive information leakage. Whether you are online or offline, hackers are way more intelligent and can access you through the internet, text messages, Bluetooth, or any online service you use. A few years back, there was news that Bluetooth connection used to flash on victims' mobile, and upon clicking, it led to account hacking. According to

Ever given a thought to what kind of life we are living? Even being away from work, we are not being disconnected. Or being physically there with the kids but mentally distracted by something else. Maybe walking on the road but not sharing smiles with the passerby instead of scrolling fingers through the phone screen. Well, it's a common scenario for almost everyone these days. It is a result of our hyperconnected world, which we are all involved in with/without reason. We don't give time to ourselves. No time to rejuvenate or relax; we keep gazing at the screen, and so do our children. The Gen-Z is more open to technology than we were in our time. Actually, in our early years, we only had TV with only Doordarshan channel. But, today, the generation is way ahead; they are the techy children with gadgets in their hands. So,

Case 1 - "I lost my farewell pictures. Is there a way to recover it?" Case 2 - "A virus attacked my PC, and my photographs folder got deleted. What do I do now?"   Encountering such a situation is disheartening, and knowing it can't recover is even more heart-trenching. This can happen to anyone. Be it through the Shift + Delete key, removing them from the Recycle Bin, or even running a system cleaning application, which permanently deletes photos. Other factors that might cause the permanent loss of stored image data include viruses, formatting, corruption, unexpected power outages, malware, not using antivirus software, faulty sectors in the hard drive, etc. Permanently deleted photos are more complicated to recover than temporary deletions, which send deleted images to the Recycle Bin, where you may quickly recover them. There are a few methods, like recovering photos from Windows

Are you a professional, student, housewife, business owner, or farmer? Laptops have become an incredible part of almost everyone's life. There are endless activities to do and unlimited mediums to explore. They are very dear to the one who is using them, kind of personal, I would say. But have you thought about how it feels when something valuable, usable, and personal gets stolen or lost? What emotions, such as fear, roam around? Shivering, I guess! Have you ever experienced anything as such? I haven't tried to be cautious while travelling. 74% of laptop thefts happen when travelling or in public areas. Today, laptops have become an inseparable part of one's life. They are essential tools for both professional and personal use. With ample storage capacity, laptops store information and data, making them crucial assets for organizations and individuals. Still, the device has sometimes

One aspect of the Internet you might need to be aware of is the dark web. Published on September 18, 2023 by Ani Petrosyan. As of January 2023, 7 out of 10 adults in a few selected nations worldwide were unaware of how the dark web operated. Because the dark web is so opaque, you may access stuff that conventional web browsers cannot display and that search engines have yet to begin indexing. Additionally, a Tor browser is the only way to access it. Who then utilizes it? Whistleblowers, the media, the intelligence community, and individuals looking for a guarantee that their Internet usage won't be censored or tracked all utilize the dark web. But as the name suggests, there is a darker side to this more reclusive Internet area, full of threats and illicit behavior. In this blog post, we'll examine patterns and
