Cybercrimes are on the rise. Eternal vigilance is required to combat them and stay safe, cyber security experts said in Chikkodi on Thursday.
“Cyber frauds are increasing rapidly in the name of banks, digital arrest and online shopping apps. People must remain alert,” AGM and Regional Head of Canara Bank M. Paneeshayan said, at a one-day workshop on Financial Literacy and Cyber Crime Awareness organized by KLE Society’s Basavaprabhu Kore Arts, Science and Commerce College in Chikkodi, in association with the Karnataka Union of Working Journalists and Canara Bank.
Mr. Paneeshayan also stressed the importance of financial protection “Only those who have lost their lives understand the value of insurance. Insurance is not a restriction but a protection offered by banks,” he said.
He also highlighted the growth of Canara Bank and explained its various services.
RBI officer Chetan Kumar warned that cyber criminals use pressure tactics, fear and attractive schemes to cheat people.
