Get tips on cyber security in five different languages

Cyber Security  awareness is minimal in India. Cyware, a cyber awareness platform has started  a new service to educate Indians about the cyber-security in five different languages through SMS and Whatsapp.

 In a statement released by the company, they said that they  have launched this service "free" of cost   after witnessing the  emerging challenges of "Cyber Suraksha"  faced by common man in India just after effect of  demonetization.

"In India, people keep the same default ATM card pin as provided by the banks and never change it. The cyberculture in India is such that for many people PIN does not stand for 'Personal Identification Number' rather they treat it as 'Public Information Number'," Akshat Jain, Co-Founder of Cyware said.

"Cyware is using commonly used messaging services like SMS and WhatsApp to make common people aware about cyber security hygiene. Cyware wants to bring change by educating people about do's and don't's  of Cyber Suraksha," he added.

To get the tips about the  cyber hygiene  through SMS  just needs to  give a missed call on toll-free number 7676610000.

While, to  activate the service  through  WhatsApp, add the same number on  your phone and send   Whatsapp message  'START'.

The subscribers of this service  will  receive security tips daily, and they can even know how  to safeguard their online banking, debit and credit cards, e-wallets and other digital assets from cyber criminals.

This cyber  security  service is currently available in English, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu and soon will be launched in other languages too.
