Shrenik Bhayani, General Manager, Kaspersky Lab South Asia told, "India is the second largest country when it comes to its population. Because of the introduction of 4G and 5G networks, the number of people who use the internet on daily basis has also increased. This also makes India a potential victim to cyber attackers. It is known that money is the main motivation behind a cyber attack, and India is one of the largest and developing populations cannot afford to be vulnerable online. We need to be more aware and secure online"
Kaspersky Lab has advised users to "Keep the operating systems (OS) and application on your computers and devices updated all the time. Ensure all your programs have the latest version of antivirus software installed. Be vigilant. Avoid opening unsolicited email attachments, visiting unknown websites, or downloading software from untrustworthy sites or peer-to-peer file transfer."
