Rahul Gupta, superintendent of the cyber department, stated that the helpline 1930 set up by the police to shield citizens from cybercriminals has allowed them to save a total of Rs 3.73 crore. Tackling cybercrime requires tackling it from all angles. On the one hand, the cyber department works to look into crimes committed by cybercriminals, raise public awareness of the need to prevent cybercrime, and operate a helpline for those in need of immediate assistance. By calling 1030, everyone can get assistance with cybercrime. Superintendent Rahul Gupta stated that many people have benefited greatly from this service. The hotline has been able to save Rs 3.73 crores from being stolen and plundered by online thieves. Earlier in the year, Rs 3.73 crore was frozen; this year, Rs 2.71 crore was. There is a total of Rs 6.73 crore frozen. Gupta further said that steps have been taken to reimburse the victims for the sum that was frozen. Additionally, attempts are being made to simplify this procedure. Three factors contribute to hackers becoming victims.
Cybercriminals profit quickly by preying on people’s greed. High returns on investments, unclaimed lottery riches, and the hope that a stranger will send you a present have all cost millions of rupees.
Cybercriminals frequently succeed by winning over their victims’ confidence fast. They pretend to be that. People often believe those who pose as representatives of reputable businesses, government figures, close friends, etc.
