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. With the rise in technology, the rate of data generation and storage also grows simultaneously. But the threat that looms around needs to be catered smartly. People think that deleting data merely using Shift + Delete or cleaning the recycling bin is enough. Correction. No. Merely deleting data does not make it vanish beyond recovery. Do you know? There are also myths about the data deletion process, a few of which I'm listing here:  The Shift + Delete command deletes everything and is a secure technique for removing data from a storage device. Formatting the device removes data forever. Solid-state drives (SSDs) can be deleted the same way as hard drives. Destroying the device physically will permanently erase data.

Have you ever wondered what happens to an employee's account when they leave a company? You might think they’re immediately deactivated, but that’s not always the case. Imagine this: someone leaves the organization, but their account lingers on—active, unnoticed, and vulnerable. Scary, right? This is what we call cyber ghosting, and it’s becoming a major cybersecurity challenge. Ghost accounts—those left active after employees depart—create a hidden risk. Hackers love these dormant accounts because they’re perfect for sneaking into a company’s network without raising alarms. And given the rise in cyber threats, including 500 million attacks reported in India in just the first quarter of 2024 (Source: Indian Express), it’s a threat no organization can afford to ignore.   Why Are Ghost Accounts Such a Big Deal? Imagine a hacker finds a ghost account that still has access to critical systems. They quietly infiltrate, disguised as a

You’ve had a long day, and the voice on the other end sounds urgent, telling you that there’s been suspicious activity on your account. Without a second thought, you start verifying your details, thinking you’re doing the right thing. But here's the twist—what if that voice wasn't your bank at all? It was a scammer, impersonating your trusted institution, all to steal your sensitive information. Welcome to the world of voice phishing, or "vishing"—a growing cyber threat that takes advantage of our trust, one phone call at a time.   What Exactly is Vishing? Vishing is a form of social engineering where attackers use phone calls to deceive victims into sharing personal information, such as credit card details, bank account numbers, or even passwords. Unlike email phishing,
