In response to the rising number of cyber fraud cases, Kerala Police have announced the launch of new initiatives aimed at combating online fraud. These initiatives will include enhanced public awareness campaigns, collaboration with tech companies to develop security protocols, and more stringent monitoring of online activities. Kerala Police are also training officers in digital forensics to better identify and apprehend cybercriminals.
The new programs are designed to help the public recognize common online scams such as phishing, fake investment opportunities, and fraudulent websites. Kerala Police aim to work with the public, schools, and businesses to spread awareness about the growing threat of cybercrime. The initiatives also include setting up specialized cybercrime helplines and support services for victims of online fraud.
