Technology has become one of the most integral parts of our lives. These days imagining a life without a laptop or a smartphone has become an impossible task. In a world where billions of people are storing information on the internet, vulnerability just keeps on increasing year-on-year. National Cyber Security Coordinator Lt Gen (retd) Rajesh Pant recently said that cyberattacks have gone up by a significant margin.
Pant claims that every day 4 lakh malware are found and at least 375 cyberattacks are witnessed in India itself. The risk is much higher for financial and payment-related data. In order to protect ourselves, we just need to ensure we are using strong passwords.
