Technology is evolving rapidly, and with it come new methods of fraud. People hardly know anything when they are already victims. Cyber criminals are ahead of all the mechanisms and are doing their best to catch the trust of people by using the most unexpected approaches. In most cases, law enforcement agencies fall behind these criminals, thus it is very important to make sure that the security measures are enhanced.
Telangana Cyber Security Bureau has been actively working to prevent cyber crimes in response to the growth in this threat perception. Through a partnership with the Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC), the ‘Shield-2025’ conference is to be held on February 18-19 at the HICC in Hyderabad. The event will focus on discussing emerging cyber threats and developing preventive strategies.

Aiming for Practical Solutions
Not only does Shield-2025 give a review of the current hazards, but their purpose is to innovate solutions that we can follow up with. Cybercriminals are always on point. They have all sorts of new scams set up which can easily dupe even the smartest people… Some of the common fraud tactics comprise:
- Impersonation scams: Thieves imaginatively act as the employees at the bank and indicate doing Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, through this they get the data of victims and withdraw money from their accounts.
- QR code fraud: Through fraud, tricksters make accidental scans of their malicious QR codes leading to financial loss.
- Parcel scams: Fraudsters claim that illegal parcels have been delivered in the victim’s name, coercing them into making payments to avoid legal trouble.
As cyber threats never stop changing, professionals at the Shield-2025 conference will discuss solutions in the areas of detection and early mitigation of fraud. The main ways of the public to minimize cyber crime losses should include the wide-spread publicity and a lot of effective preventive measures to be used.
