With the evolution of technology, one thing that's ever increasing is the facilities it provides, but alongside the threat of online fraud and cheating has increased exponentially. Most common example, everyday on Instagram we receive DMs from strange people that eventually ask us to click on suspicious links, share our private information or send them money to receive a larger sum in return!
With a foreword from Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, this book from Ashok Kumar, DGP, Uttarakhand Police and O.P. Manocha, an ex -DRDO scientist, this book features twelve accounts of cybercrime based on true stories, relating to fake identity on social media, ransomware, card cloning, sextortion and phishing, among others.
I've always been interested in reading true-crime. The intention behind this book is to promote cyber-security and to spread awareness regarding various types of frauds and how one can prevent themselves from falling into such traps. Though reading some of them will make the reader laugh on how foolish a person can be, these things are widespread and so common that we never know, it can happen to anyone in a moment. The book is undoubtedly very interesting, well-written, each incident described in detail and with great fervor. The book has illustrations to keep the readers engaged and cyber-tips to avoid such situations. It is a must read for everyone, the young and the old, for everyone is vulnerable to such crimes. A salute to everyone involved in resolving these cases and catching the criminals!
