In an effort to curb rising cybercrimes, the Mumbai Police have launched a public awareness initiative aimed at educating citizens about online safety. With the increasing dependence on digital platforms for financial transactions, social media interactions, and other essential activities, the risk of falling victim to cybercrimes has also escalated. Mumbai Police are focusing on educating the public about phishing, identity theft, and other common online scams through workshops, seminars, and social media campaigns.
As part of the initiative, the police have also collaborated with tech experts to provide citizens with practical advice on securing their online presence. Special emphasis is placed on encouraging people to use strong passwords, verify emails, and avoid sharing sensitive information on insecure platforms. The aim is to reduce cybercrime cases and make Mumbai a safer digital space.
