"Digital Literacy is the only measure to protect people from cyber attacks. " In this technologically advanced world, almost every individual is carrying at least one of the smart devices (smart phones, smart watches, smart tv, smart fridges, sensors and trackers, etc.) and connected to the internet one way or another. And with these devices we’re generating tons of data (personal data - birthday, hometown, national identity, jobs, current location, marital status, health data - blood pressure, oxygen level, sugar level, etc., financial data - ATM/Credit Card details, transactions, etc.) and we share them over the internet. Though the devices and systems are making our life easier and better, have you ever thought what devastation can be caused if this data is accessed by bad people. The destruction can be unimaginable. And the people in developing nations are more vulnerable to such scams and hacks. Because people have just started to use mobile/internet banking (Paypal, Paytm, eSewa, fonepay, etc.), they don't follow the best security practices and are unaware of such scams. So, even if the systems and apps are highly secure, the end user is highly vulnerable to such attacks and scams. Thus, Digital Literacy is the only measure to protect people from cyber attacks. (Digital Literacy means educating people about the possible scams and hacks and security best practices to follow for protecting their digital data.) So, with the aim of raising awareness, I’ll further discuss the different types of hacks, best security practices to follow, real incidents of getting scammed, etc. in layman's terms (very simple terms).
