Become a Campus AmbassadorPractical safety tips every citizen must know
Never share OTP, CVV, or PIN with anyone. Banks never ask for OTP. Call 1930 if you suspect fraud.
RECEIVING money never needs PIN. Never scan QR codes sent by strangers. Verify recipient before paying.
Use unique 12+ character passwords for every account. Use a password manager. Never reuse passwords.
Turn on 2-Factor Authentication on all accounts - banking apps, email, social media. Use authenticator apps.
Report cyber crimes at cybercrime.gov.in or call 1930. Preserve all evidence - screenshots, messages, URLs.
Regularly review account login history. Logout from unused devices. Update security questions.
Deepfake technology and AI-generated misinformation pose serious threats to individual reputation, public trust, and democratic processes. SECUREBENGAL helps citizens identify and combat these threats.
AI-generated fake videos can make anyone appear to say or do things they never did. Look for unnatural blinking, lip sync issues, and unusual skin tones.
False information spreads rapidly through WhatsApp forwards. Always verify before sharing. Misinformation can cause real-world violence.
Scammers clone the voice of family members using AI to claim emergencies and demand money. Always call back on known numbers.
AI tools are used to mass-produce propaganda content designed to look authentic. Seek multiple sources before believing political claims.
Use tools like InVID, FotoForensics, and Google Reverse Image Search to verify photos and videos before believing or sharing.
Think before you share. Ask: Is this verified? Could this harm someone? Does this come from a credible source?
