“Was this you? Please confirm your identity. Someone just requested a password reset. CREATE A PASSWORD You’ll use it to log into: XXXXXXX Didn’t make this request? Click here for help.” Sound familiar? Chances are, you’ve seen emails like this—ones that demand quick action and spark a bit of panic. If your response was to ignore or delete it, great! You're one step ahead in keeping yourself secure. But if you’ve ever clicked without thinking, you already know how risky that one action can be. When it comes to cybersecurity, two age-old sayings come to mind: “Prevention is better than cure” and “Your safety starts with you.” And they couldn’t be more accurate. Whether it’s emails, messages, or phone calls, phishing attempts are designed to lure you into handing over your data. And just one careless click can tip the scales in favour of the scammers.   India: A Hotspot for Phishing

Reading on the heading, I hope, while I mention the "Man‑In‑The‑Middle", you did not take it as your dreaded uncle who chimes awkwardly and listens to your private conversations, texting your friends, or subtly steering the gossip. Then let me burst your thinking bubble on this, absolutely not! I'm not talking about that awkward uncle at family gatherings. But a severe attack by a cyber trickster who eavesdrops and manipulates your online conversations without you noticing. There's no laughing emoji when someone intercepts your banking info or chat messages without your knowledge. So, next time, don't be confused — MITM is far less cuddly and far more creepy than that uncle who interrupts every family story but a cybercriminal lurking in your digital life.   So, What Is a MITM Attack? Imagine this scenario: you log into your bank account, enter your password, and unbeknownst to

Let’s begin with a simple question—when was the last time you checked your spam folder? Chances are, it’s full of unsolicited promotions, bank fraud warnings, shipment updates you never requested, and “urgent” documents waiting to be downloaded. Most of us delete them without a second thought. There are times, however, when one of those emails makes it through to your primary inbox, looking clean, legitimate, and even familiar. That one email—if clicked—can paralyze your business operations. In 2025, this is no longer an edge case. It’s happening daily, and small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) across India are among the hardest hit. The Evolving Face of Email Threats in India Email remains the most common and cost-effective form of business communication. But it’s also the most frequently exploited attack vector in the digital age. Email isn’t just a messaging tool—it’s a gateway to sensitive data, payment details,

A sudden pop-up, a mysterious slowdown, files you can't open, or a warning message demanding payment – these are the chilling signs that your PC might have just become another victim of a cyberattack. If you are addressing these on your PC or have addressed them earlier or want to be secured from these, this blog is just for you! The 21st century has seen many positive changes in the technology sector, from the development of computers to the launching of AI. But with positive by default, negative actors come in, and so is the case with the technology. The bad actors, like theft, cyber-attack, phishing, malware, ransomware and many more, have taken new and advanced means, challenging the positive actors. Today in this digital age, especially here in India, where cyber threats are rampant, a PC infection is a matter

"Congratulations! Your income‑tax refund of ₹4,500 is ready. Verify your bank details here." The message seemed beneficial, but for real, it is a scam that you can get caught off-guard. Don't let scammers lure you to such and similar scams that will take all your hard-earned money and leave you with just regret. It is rightly said, 'precaution is better than cure', and an eagle's eye on every message, mail, or call you receive can keep you protected from scammers at all levels. But surprisingly, India is the hub and is among the countries that are top on the scammers list. Every day in India, thousands wake up to such messages, and many get fooled by them. Fake tax‑refund messages masquerading as official communications. But no one wondered how these fraudsters get so good at sounding legitimate. Or why, despite increasing awareness

'Why bother for a backup? System backup keeps my data safe, and it keeps backing up my precious memories time and again for sure. Good thought for giving oneself the joy of satisfaction. Reality Check: The system does not back up your data; it only stores it- kinda like your save, and it keeps. But give it a brief thought, or imagine a situation: your system crashes, or by mistake, your kid spills the water on your laptop, or some malware sneaks and ruins your data. Scary, I believe. But this is the reality to many. You would be shocked to know that: '52% of PC users in India had lost their data at least once in the last 5 years, and 45% users were effected from some kind of data loss in the past year'. You don't have to panic, but you

At all points, family is the priority. Their safety—be it physical, emotional, or digital—is non-negotiable. And while every member of the family plays a role, it’s often the fathers, the silent protectors, who shoulder the responsibility of ensuring a secure environment for their loved ones. In most households, fathers are seen as the head of the family—the guiding light, the problem solver, and often, the first person we call when something feels off. But in today’s world, that “something” is no longer just a strange noise in the middle of the night. It could be a suspicious link your child clicked on, a phishing message your partner received, or a data breach targeting your smart home. The New-Age Challenge: Digital Threats in a Growing Tech World With growing technology, our lives have become easier—but also more exposed. From online banking to kids attending

It begins with a small error. A corrupted file. An unresponsive drive. An urgent folder, gone without a trace. For businesses and individuals alike, the sudden disappearance of data can trigger panic, confusion, and serious consequences. But in many cases, the real crisis isn’t just the loss of data—it’s the realisation that there was no recovery plan in place. In India, where digital transformation is rapidly reshaping every sector—from banking and retail to education and healthcare—the reliance on data is greater than ever. Yet, while cybersecurity spending is increasing, data recovery remains an afterthought for many. This oversight is proving costly. Cybercrime is Rising, and Data is the Target India is one of the fastest-growing digital economies in the world, but that growth comes with growing pains—particularly when it comes to cybersecurity. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, India recorded a 24.5%

Ever had that strange feeling where you search for a product once and suddenly it's following you everywhere — on Facebook, in your email, even in your news apps? That’s not magic. That’s your digital footprint in action. Think of your digital footprint as the trail of breadcrumbs you leave behind every time you go online — whether you're shopping for a pair of shoes, signing up for a newsletter, or liking a cute dog video. It's a collection of every click, search, post, and scroll. And here’s the catch: most of the time, you’re not even aware of it. Let’s talk about what makes up this invisible trail and why it matters more than we think.   What Exactly Is a Digital Footprint? Your digital footprint is the sum of everything you do online — and I mean everything. Social media activity, Google searches,
