Let’s be real for a second — cyber threats today aren’t just an “IT department issue.” They’re a full-blown business crisis waiting to happen. You might think your business is too small to be on a hacker's radar or that your remote team has things under control. But here’s the truth: if your website is live, your data is online, and your team uses devices to connect — you’re already a target. And the numbers back it up. According to the 2024 Cybersecurity Almanac, cybercrime will cost the world $9.5 trillion in damages this year — that’s more than the global trade of all major illegal drugs combined. And get this: a cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds. For small and mid-sized businesses, the situation is even more chilling. A recent Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report found that: 43% of all data breaches target small

There’s a certain kind of magic swirling across the internet lately. From dreamy landscapes to whimsical portraits, everyone's turning their personal photos into what looks like scenes from a Studio Ghibli film. Soft tones, fantastical backdrops, and nostalgic vibes—it's hard not to get swept up in the charm. AI-generated art in the Ghibli style has taken social media by storm, and people are loving it. So do I. But behind the fun and fantasy, there’s a conversation we need to have—one that’s a little less magical but far more critical: What are we giving up in exchange for those AI-generated visuals?   Where Did It All Begin? It all gained momentum when a Seattle-based software engineer transformed a family photo into a Ghibli-style illustration using AI tools and shared it online. The image went viral, and in no time, others followed suit, uploading their own photos

Kids and screens are a new age battle that almost every parent in the 21st century is dealing with. Whether it’s the TV, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, screens have become an inseparable part of a kid’s daily routine. And to be frank, sometimes, handing over a device is the easiest way to keep them occupied. But how much is too much? After the pandemic, everyone's overall screen time gradually increased. For kids, it has become a tool to learn and grow in this high-tech world. But too much "screen time" can have negative effects on their mental health and eventually on their physical growth as well. “On average, children aged 8-18 spend 7.5 hours a day in front of screens for entertainment alone—which amounts to 114 days a year.” “A survey conducted among 1,500 parents found that 69% of children aged 12 and

Scams. Yes, those eye-catching ads, irresistible deals, and too-good-to-be-true offers—many of them are just traps waiting to steal your money, identity, or both. And trust me, I’ve been there. With over 1.4 billion active users worldwide as of 2024, it's no wonder we find ourselves so engrossed.

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
