Every day, thousands of Indians receive fraudulent calls, WhatsApp messages, fake loan offers, UPI payment requests, investment scams, digital arrest threats, and phishing emails designed to steal money and personal information. Victims include students, working professionals, senior citizens, homemakers, business owners, and even experienced bankers.
Cyber Suraksha is a practical, easy-to-understand guide that helps every Indian family recognize, prevent, respond to, and recover from today's most common cyber threats.
Instead of technical jargon, the book explains how scammers think, the psychological tricks they use, and the exact steps you should take before, during, and after a cyber fraud incident.
Inside this book you'll learn:
• How OTP, UPI and QR code scams actually work
• The truth behind "Digital Arrest" and fake police or CBI calls
• WhatsApp hacking, SIM swap and social media account protection
• Fake loan apps, investment scams and job frauds
