Online Safety & Privacy
Protect your identity in the digital world.
- Strong passwords & 2FA: Always use complex passwords with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible. Example: For your bank account, use a strong password and OTP verification to prevent unauthorized access.
- Safe social media usage: Avoid oversharing personal information such as location, ID numbers, or financial details. Use privacy settings to control who sees your posts. Example: Do not post your home address on social media; limit posts to friends only.
- App & website permissions: Only grant apps and websites access to data they actually need. Check permissions regularly to prevent misuse. Example: A flashlight app doesn’t need access to your contacts or location—deny such permissions.
Scams & Fraud Awareness
- Phishing & fake calls: Fraudsters impersonate banks or government officials to steal your data. Verify calls or emails before sharing info. Example: Receiving a call claiming "Your account will be closed"—do not click links or share OTPs; call your bank directly.
- Online shopping frauds: Always check seller credibility, reviews, and platform policies before purchasing. Avoid paying outside official channels. Example: Buying electronics from unknown sites can lead to non-delivery; prefer verified e-commerce platforms.
- Investment scams: Be wary of promises of guaranteed high returns or “secret” schemes. Example: A WhatsApp message claiming "Get 30% monthly returns" is likely a scam—avoid it.
Legal Basics
- Consumer rights: Every citizen has the right to safe products and services. Understand complaint procedures. Example: If an online seller delivers faulty goods, you can file a complaint with consumer protection authorities.
- Cybercrime reporting: Know how to report incidents like hacking, phishing, or identity theft to authorities. Example: Reporting phishing emails to the cybercrime cell can prevent loss and help others.
- Basic legal awareness: Learn laws related to digital transactions and privacy to safeguard yourself. Example: Sharing someone else’s private images online without consent is illegal under IT laws.
