With an increasing number of people falling prey to cyber crimes, Bokaro Police and State Bank of India today jointly organised a cyber crime awareness campaign at Bokaro club here on Wednesday.
“The need for this cyber crime awareness is becoming more and more. We do believe that unless we work jointly in this area, it will be extremely difficult to ensure security for all,” SBI Chief branch manager Ravindra Kumar Verma said launching the campaign here this afternoon, along with Bokaro thermal police Inspector Prameshear Leyangi.
He said every single person in the chain needs to be equally aware to prevent cyber crimes as even if one is knowledgeable but not on guard, then there is possibility that one may compromise the system.
The SBI chief narrated an example of how a fraud called some customer posing himself as bank manager.
Bokaro thermal Police in-Charge said that one of the biggest concerns of the police force is lack of awareness among people about cyber crimes. “Our efforts in this direction is that the more awareness we can generate and the more awareness we can get percolated down to the society, the safer we will be,” he said, adding with this partnership, Bokaro Police want to reiterate the importance of awareness and of being alert.
