Indore: Cybercrime Increasing Rapidly, Beware Of It; Says Special DG Kapoor

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Cybercrime is a rapidly increasing crime. The main reason for the increase in cybercrime is not adopting adequate security measures and adopting the standards of the real world in the virtual world.

Financial crimes are mainly committed by cyber criminals through phishing in which a person is threatened or tempted and by getting trapped in fear or greed, he becomes a victim of such crimes. Special DG Varun Kapoor informed this to officers of MP Co-operative Bank during a cyber-awareness workshop organised at a city hotel on Friday.
