🎥 Episode 1 of our new series, Anatomy of a Scam: “Evolution of the Con”, explores how phishing, smishing, vishing, and OTP intercepts are impacting individuals and organisations alike. Scammers are even using AI to clone voices and craft hyper-personalised messages—making deception more convincing than ever. #ecommercetrends #frauddetection

Cyber-fraud has quietly become one of the fastest-growing crimes in the world — and it’s no longer limited to large corporations or tech-savvy targets. From phishing emails to fake investment schemes and AI-generated scams, digital criminals are using increasingly sophisticated tactics to exploit one thing: human trust. Every time you click a link, share personal data, or make an online transaction, you leave a digital footprint. Cybercriminals use these traces to impersonate trusted institutions, access bank accounts, or steal identities. The most common forms of cyber-fraud today include phishing scams, ransomware attacks, social engineering, and fraudulent e-commerce listings — all designed to make you act quickly before you think clearly. Protecting yourself starts with awareness and small, consistent habits. Always verify sender addresses before clicking links. Use multi-factor authentication for all financial and personal accounts. Regularly update passwords and software. Never share sensitive information over text or social media — even if the message seems legitimate. And remember: if an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Cybersecurity isn’t just a tech issue anymore — it’s a personal safety skill. In a world where our lives are increasingly online, digital caution is your strongest defense. How often do you review your online security habits? #CyberSecurity #CyberFraud #OnlineSafety #DigitalSecurity #DataProtection #InternetSafety #CyberAwareness #PhishingScams #FraudPrevention #OnlineScams #InfoSecurity #CyberCrime #SafeOnline #DigitalWellness #TechAwareness #crimebyfusiontv

Here are 5 red flags I always look for in emails. Today, it’s not IT’s job alone; everyone needs to spot phishing attempts. These emails aren’t just spam, but a gateway to fraud. After 11 years of working with clients across different sectors, one lesson stands out: protecting relationships starts with protecting data. I’ve seen companies lose access to accounts, freeze funds, or worse, because of a single click. Here's what I watch for: ❌ Unexpected urgency- legitimate providers rarely demand immediate action. ❌ Suspicious sender details- small discrepancies often reveal a fake. ❌ Generic greetings- “Dear Customer” instead of your name is often a giveaway ❌ Odd links- hover first; if it doesn’t match, don’t click. ❌ Poor grammar- repeated mistakes are a red flag. Professional organizations proofread. Trust your instincts. If something feels off, verify directly through official channels. What’s your go-to method for spotting phishing attempts?

A 𝐜𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 is a deliberate attempt by an individual or group to breach, damage, or disrupt computer systems, networks, or digital devices, often for malicious purposes such as data theft, espionage, financial fraud, or system sabotage. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤? A phishing attack is a form of cyberattack where attackers impersonate trustworthy individuals or organizations to deceive victims into divulging sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or other personal data. These attacks often occur through emails, text messages (SMS), phone calls, or fake websites that look legitimate. The goal is to manipulate the target into clicking malicious links, downloading harmful attachments, or entering confidential information, which the attacker then exploits for financial gain, identity theft, or unauthorized access to systems. Because phishing attacks rely on social engineering, they exploit human trust rather than technical vulnerabilities, making awareness and vigilance critical in preventing them. #CyberSecurity #Awareness #BeProactive #BeAware #SafeGuard #Training #Knowledge #PayAttention #ConsultProfessionals #SmallBusiness #MediumBusiness #Company #Corporate #Brand #Agents #Employees #HighTarget #Security #Email #SSL #Domains #ReputationManagement #SiteLock #Malware #Phishing #Scams #Cyberattacks #WebHosting #Privacy #AdultBlock #GlobalBlock

📞 Cyber Tip Day 24: When in Doubt, Verify It Out! Scammers are experts at making messages look official, whether it's an email from your "bank" or a text from your "shipping company." But there's one simple action that defeats every single one of these scams: verification! Don't trust the message; trust the official contact info. Your Rule: If you receive a suspicious or urgent message, DO NOT reply, click, or use any contact information provided in that message. Instead, verify that the message is legitimate by contacting the sender directly through known channels. Bank/Credit Card? Call the number on the back of your card. Company/Service? Go to the official website and use their customer support number or email. A quick, separate call will confirm if the message is real—and if it's not, you've completely neutralized the threat! 🧠 #CybersecurityMonth #RecognizeScams #VerifySender #Day24Tip

🔒 IT SECURITY MONTH - STAY ALERTED ON PHISHING FRAUD! 👤 This month we raise awareness and remind everyone to stay vigilant against Fraud and Financial Crime in the light of IT Security Month. Phishing is getting sneakier - attackers use look-alike domains that trick the eye. Example: noreply@rnicrosoft.com (the “rn” looks like an “m”) - or noreply@arnazon.com (reads like amazon.com at a glance). 😬 If in the attached picture you immediately see the difference, try viewing it in the same small font size you normally see in your email inbox - that’s where people fall for it. 🚩 Before you click or pay: 👉 Hover to preview links - don’t rely on visible text. 🔎 Check the exact sender domain (one wrong letter can be the difference). 🛑 Don’t act on urgent requests via email - verify through official channels. 💸 Never make payments based on suspicious, unexpected or urgent instructions. Share this with colleagues - the difference can be one letter, one click, or one payment. #ITSecurityMonth #Phishing #CyberAwareness #LookAlikeDomains #FraudPrevention #FinCrimeAwareness #StaySafe

🔐 “I’m not famous… I don’t have money in my account… so why would anyone hack me?” That’s what most people think — until reality hits. A hacked phone or laptop isn’t just your loss — it becomes a weapon. Attackers can hide in your device, use it to breach others, spread malware, or make you an unknowing accomplice in cybercrime. What starts as “nothing to lose” can quickly turn into identity theft, fraud, reputational damage, or even legal trouble. Cybersecurity isn’t just for the rich or popular — it’s for everyone who’s online. Secure your device. Protect your data. Stay aware. ⚡ #CyberSecurity #CyberAwareness #Infosec #DataProtection #OnlineSafety #StaySecure #DigitalSecurity #EthicalHacking #PrivacyMatters #CyberCrimeAwareness #TechCommunity #InformationSecurity #CyberSafety Raj Suryawanshi Akanksha vyavahare Akanksha Pathak Adv Swarada kabnurkar WhiteBand Associates LLP
