Jaipur Cyber Safety Camp Urges Vigilance Against Digital Fraud
A cyber safety camp was held in Jaipur to teach people how to stay safe online.
Digital banking is convenient, but criminals can use calls, messages, links and QR codes to trick people.
The camp explained scams involving KYC, OTPs, phishing, WhatsApp impersonation and fake customer-care numbers.
It also discussed how criminals can use artificial intelligence to make convincing scams.
AI can also help banks and authorities defend against cyber attacks.
Experts said people should act quickly if they lose money or share information.
The first 60 minutes after discovering a cyber crime are especially important.
People should call the helpline 1930, contact their bank and report the incident officially.
The main advice was to pause, verify and report.
