Fake Recruiters

 

Fake Recruiters

 



 Reena applied for a job through a job portal. Two days later, she got an email telling that she had been shortlisted for the job and for security reason she had to share her debit card details with them. She was happy as she succeeded after 6 months of job search. Without much thinking she shared complete debit card details along with CVV (Card Verification Value). After some time she got an OTP (One Time Password) from the bank and SMS from the person pretending job portal official, asking for the OTP. She knows very well that OTP must not be shared with anybody but still assuming that he was a genuine person she shared the OTP with that fellow. Furthermore she left with nothing in her bank account. Upon enquiring on the job portal they told that they only help people for job search and not shortlist or select people.

 No job portal, employment exchange or recruiter demand debit/credit card details of applicants. In fact company shortlist the candidates and not the job portal or recruiter.

#cybercrime #cybersecurity# #Digital #Guardians ©Kavita Datar In the bustling city, where the online world and reality mixed, Sneha loved sharing her life on social media. But trouble brewed when a guy named Parag began messing with her photos, turning them into embarrassing ones. Sneha's boyfriend, Karan, who knew a lot about tech, wasn't about to let this go. He found a helpful site, https://stopncii.org/ , and quickly sent in Sneha's real and changed pictures. The magic of https://stopncii.org/ kicked in.

But Karan didn't stop there. He dug deeper into the internet to find where these bad pictures came from. With proof in hand, he reported Parag, the guy causing all the trouble. At the same time, Karan told Sneha to talk to the cyber security team. They all worked together, filed

Social Media Trap

  Social Media Trap   Some WhatsApp users complained and police arrested Ayush. According to the complainants, a hateful, offensive and religiously divisive post went viral since last three-four days, from the WhatsApp group of which Ayush was the admin. Damini, a Cyber Security consultant analysed Ayush's social media handles (his Facebook, Instagram and Twitter profiles), through social media analytic tools. This type of analysis can reveal a great deal about a person's mental state. Like… Is the person depressed? Restless? Angry? or balanced? What are the political, religious and social beliefs of that person? Etc ... From social media analysis, however, Ayush seemed to be a young man with a balanced personality. At the request, the police allowed Damini and Advocate Sachin (Ayush’s prosecutor) to check the cloned copy of Ayush's mobile phone. When a cyber-crime happens, during digital forensics, a cloned copy of the involving device is created and the origin

Dirty Secret

  Dirty Secret Ramesh was damn busy watching the video on his mobile phone with his eyes fixed on the screen. For the last three years, this was his daily routine. After coming out of the office, having dinner, he spent the next two to three hours watching videos on porn sites on his mobile or laptop.   He had become badly addicted to surfing porn sites, watching videos on it and seldom chatting with a lady member from the link provided there. He was completely unable not to set himself apart from all this.   Ramesh worked as an Assistant Vice President at a large multinational IT company in Pune. He was popular among his peers and friends because of his ingenuity, ability and straightforward, simple nature.

But when he came home in the evening, his time was not up. Similarly,
