NEW DELHI: As cybercriminals have become increasingly sophisticated in exploiting India’s expanding digital ecosystem, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has launched a free online cyber security awareness course to help citizens identify frauds, protect their financial information and navigate the internet safely.
Summary
Developed by the MHA’s Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), the course seeks to equip ordinary internet users with practical skills to recognise emerging cyber threats, including fake banking calls, fraudulent KYC update messages, phishing links, bogus job offers and credit card upgrade scams.
This is a brief wire summary, the full story (linked below) has the complete details.
KazaSec's take
Phishing and credential-based attacks succeed because they target people, not just infrastructure, technical controls like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC only ever close part of that gap. The rest comes down to whether a team can actually spot the fake, and whether a compromised credential can still be reused anywhere else.
