New Delhi [India], October 22 (ANI): Amid the growing use of digital transactions, a new book seeks to guide people on preventive steps against computer frauds and cyber crimes.
The book 'Cyber Unsafe: A Handbook for Preventing Computer Frauds and Cyber Crimes', which will be released on Saturday, is envisaged as a ready reckoner to help people guard against fraudsters and cyber criminals.
There has been an increase in digital crimes due to growing reliance on digital technology and lack of "adequate public awareness of the potential misuse of digital technology".
"Digital technology can provide new dimensions to traditional crimes and make them more sophisticated. There is very little reliable information available to help people understand the dangers associated with digital technology. This book is an attempt to fill this gap," a release said.
