| Greetings!
As I’m sure you are aware, cybercriminals are becoming alarmingly
sophisticated, targeting individuals from all walks of life. Recent
headlines paint a grim picture: Mumbai alone reported losses of Rs1,012
crore due to online fraud this year, a shocking 286% rise from the
previous year! Every day, people fall victim to digital arrest scams,
phishing schemes, fraudulent investments and other innovative traps used
by scammers. What is especially scary is that reports of two senior
citizens, both over 75, remaining under what they thought was a ‘digital
arrest’ and ending up losing crores of rupees of their life savings. We
need to make people aware of digital fraud and its myriad avaatars on a
war footing. You need to participate in this effort. |
 At
Moneylife Foundation, we have got the best and most respected experts
to help you understand cyberfraud and its implications at an in-person
programme in Mumbai on 17th December. Former IPS officer, founding CEO
of ReBIT and expert on fraud and cyber security Nandkumar Saravade along with Adv (Dr) Prashant Mali,
who has been voted one of the top 50 global cybersecurity leaders and
influencers for three years in a row, have generously agreed to give
time to help us understanding this scary and constantly evolving new
fraud. Yogesh Sapkale, deputy editor, Moneylife, whose weekly column Fraud Alert tracks cyber fraud and cyber safety will provide an overview to start the programme. |
