Be Aware Against Corona virus & Cyber Criminals
Entire India is facing a huge crisis arising out of
unprecedent and shocking second wave of Corona virus attack which poses a
challenge to every Indian, even putting of very survival. We Indian have more
than 5000 years' old civilization and we are capable and confident to cope up
with this sudden onslaught of the ever-changing mutating invisible enemy. There
are reports of paucity of oxygen supply and beds in hospital, on which the
Hon'ble Court has expressed concerns. In this situation, like the first wave of
attack in the year 2020, various invisible crime like that of invisible virus,
already been started in or through the virtual world. We can remember last year
INTERPOL has warned the entire world against the rising cybercrimes in various
countries including India. Recently following types of cybercrimes are
skyrocketing :
i) Long
standing fishing, vishing, various other types of online fraud including
banking fraud which financially devastating people who fall victim to various
types of online invisible trap.
ii) For
the last few weeks people are being cheated on the plea of supplying oxygen
cylinder or other types of medical instrument through various anonymous identities.
iii)
People who are approaching social media for all needed help are sharing details
of their private data, which ultimately falling at the hand of the fraudsters,
who are playing with the privacy of the citizen.
In the
present scenario, I think, the best remedy both in fighting against corona
virus as well as cyber criminals, is the awareness. Again, as the Doctors are
the health armies protecting us from the pandemic so also the investigating or
law enforcing agencies should protect the people from organized crimes in
virtual world. Please do the following:
i) Avoid
any type of online money transaction from any untrusted site and only do the
online banking from trusted banking site or app.
ii)
Always keep safe the devise by which online money transaction is done. Never
clicked any suspicious link or allow malware to enter your all-important
devise.
iii)
Never pay any money to any unknown person through online modes for purchasing
oxygen or other indispensable materials in this pandemic period without verifying
their credentials.
iv) Share
the limited personally identifying data with the various online social medias
so that fraudsters cannot use them for their wrongful purposes.
v) Avoid
vishing or fishing calls impersonating banks or other organization or
downloading any remote-control app as per the fraudsters' persuasion.
vi) In
various part of West Bengal as well as various part of India, we have cyber
police station or bank fraud units, wherein person duped or cheated can agitate
their grievance. Also, in case of baking fraud, banks are to be intimated
at the earliest after the fraud occurred.
vii)
Please avoid any type of fake news and repot to the concerned person as per the
latest IT Rules, 2021.
Lastly to
repeat the same, awareness is the main weapon in this trying time, both in
physical as well as in virtual life to combat both virus and cyber criminals.
Let us hope that we shall overcome the tough time with ease.
