Jaipur, September 19 (IANS) In response to the increasing cases of malware hacking and online fraud, a Cybercrime Branch of the Rajasthan Police has issued an advisory that has been urged by citizens to be vigilant against fake websites, fishing links and malicious apps.
Superintendent of Police Cybercrime Shantanu Kumar Singh advised people to scan their equipment regularly using e-scan bot removal apps to prevent malware infection and protect personal and financial data. The advisor aims to protect citizens from potential cyber attack and guide them with preventive measures.
SP Cybercrime Shantanu Kumar Singh further said that cyber criminals are rapidly targeting people using fake websites, malware and fishing attacks. These attacks are usually carried out by sending malicious links through smartphones, laptops, banking apps or social media.
Once a user clicks on such a link, the malware infiltrates the device, risking personal and financial data. To avoid such attacks, the advisory suggests a simple and effective method: scanning the device regularly using an e-scan bot removal app.
The recommended stages in the advisor say that the first app should be opened on your mobile or computer and the scan should be selected on the main screen. Choose a full scan option. Once completed, the app will generate a report highlighting any bot, malware or suspicious files.
Users can then remove harmful files by selecting/delete option. Repeating this process regularly will help protect the equipment from the dangers of malware, Singh said.
In a recent case in Hyderabad, a digital arrest by cyber fraudsters claimed the life of a 76 -year -old retired government doctor who died of a heart attack, allegedly after three days of harassment.
The police said that the Conmen, who was presented as police and enforcement officers, expanded Rs 6.6 lakh after accusing him of involvement in human trafficking and sent danger even after his death.
The scammers subjected him to 70 -hour digital arrests using fake documents affecting the people of the Supreme Court, Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Even after forcing him to transfer money from his pension account, the fraudsters continued to harass him through video calls and fake court notice.
The harassment, which was in severe crisis due to harassment, fell with chest pain on 8 September and broke up the next day.
The elderly woman, who served as the main senior resident of the Chief Senior Resident Medical Officer at the Area Hospital in Malakpet, was first contacted by the fraudsters from the WhatsApp number on 5 September. He allegedly used the Bengaluru police logo on the profile and after accusing him of human trafficking, threatened to arrest him under the National Security Act, if he failed to transfer money.
