CYBER CRIME AWARENESS

As you are aware, the information and communication technology is being used in all walks of public life including banking, transport, airlines, railways, power and other sectors. With enhanced use of technology for day to day activities, possibility of cybercrimes is also increasing. Due to lack of awareness about the modus operandi of such cyber criminals, some people become victims of various crimes. Education and awareness will help in preventing such crimes to a significant extent.

To mitigate possibility of disruption in normal business activities or losses due to cybercrimes, Government of India is committed to create an ecosystem to prevent and control cybercrimes. 'Capacity building' and 'Public awareness' are critical components for obviating impact of cybercrimes and creating a suitable climate for trust based transactions.

With an objective of spreading awareness about cybercrimes and normal precautions to be taken, the Ministry of Home Affairs has launched @CyberDost twitter handle in 2018 where pertinent posts are being placed regularly. General Public and Government employees will be immensely benefited if they follow this twitter handle. This will enhance their basic knowledge about cybercrimes and precautions to be taken for prevention thereof.
