As cybercrime becomes a growing concern, the Kerala Police have stepped up their efforts to combat online fraud and other cybercrimes. The force is now expanding its existing cybercrime prevention campaigns, particularly focusing on educating the public about online scams, phishing attacks, and identity theft. Workshops, social media posts, and awareness drives are being organized to empower citizens with knowledge about safe online practices. These initiatives are especially crucial in the context of Kerala’s increasing internet penetration and mobile phone usage.
In addition to awareness campaigns, the Kerala Police have also strengthened their cybercrime units. They are using advanced digital forensics to track down fraudsters, who often operate from remote locations. The police have also partnered with tech companies to improve their capability to detect suspicious online activities and prevent fraud. Furthermore, a dedicated cybercrime helpline has been set up to assist victims in recovering lost funds and reporting fraud.
