In a recent advisory, the Malerkotla Police have issued a warning to the citizens about the increasing threat of cyber criminals targeting individuals through various fraudulent activities. The police have observed a rise in cyber crimes such as phishing, online scams, and identity theft, and are urging the public to remain vigilant.

The Malerkotla Police have urged citizens to follow safety precautions, including verifying the authenticity of unsolicited communication, avoiding clicking on suspicious links, and regularly updating their passwords. The police also emphasized the importance of reporting any suspicious activity immediately to the authorities.
The advisory aims to raise awareness and prevent individuals from falling victim to cyber fraud. Local authorities are also planning awareness campaigns to educate the public about how to protect themselves online.
