AI: A rising threat in cybercrime

Technology

A recent report shows that AI is behind 82.6% of phishing emails, making fake websites and scam links look more convincing than ever.
The findings, shared by Karnataka's top police official Dr. M.A. Saleem, highlight how cybercriminals are using smart tech to trick people.

Over 19 lakh cybercrime complaints in India last year

India saw over 19 lakh cybercrime complaints in 2024—up a lot from last year—with losses hitting ₹22,812 crore (that's three times more than before).
Scams are especially targeting seniors, women, and kids through fake apps and data theft.
The report also points out that places like Bengaluru need stronger digital awareness and better cybersecurity training to keep up with these new threats.
