Cybercrimes have risen significantly in Goa, with online scams, phishing attacks, and data breaches targeting residents and tourists alike. With the increasing reliance on digital platforms, criminals have exploited these vulnerabilities for financial gain. The Goa Police are actively addressing this issue by setting up a dedicated cybercrime unit to investigate such incidents, enhance awareness, and assist victims in recovering stolen data or funds.
The police have also launched public awareness campaigns to educate citizens about safe online practices, such as avoiding suspicious emails and securing personal information. By partnering with cyber security experts, the Goa Police are working to make the state a safer place in the digital age.
