Gurugram, Jul 8 (PTI) A cybercrime awareness workshop in Gurugram on Tuesday brought over 100 cyber experts to educate participants on rising cyber threats, officials said.
The workshop primarily focused on five major types of cyber frauds: investment frauds, customs and parcel delivery frauds or digital arrests, vishing scams, task-based frauds and search engine scams.
During his address, Gurugram Commissioner of Police Vikas Kumar Arora stated that cybercrime no longer targets just one type of person.
“Anyone using a phone or the internet can fall victim. Through sessions like this, we want to help people understand how these frauds work and why it is so important to report them quickly,” he said.
“The faster we act, the better the chances of stopping the damage. Cyber frauds don’t work because people aren’t smart. They work because they create fear, urgency, and confusion. The more aware people are of how these scams operate, the more confident they will be in recognising and avoiding them”,” he added.
Participants also had the opportunity to engage directly with the commissioner of police.
Gurugram Police, Nagarro, NASSCOM, and GACS organised the cybersecurity awareness workshop.
