Family WhatsApp groups often become the fastest route for panic because messages are shared between people who trust each other. False health alerts, scam warnings, crisis rumours, old videos presented as current events, and unverified security messages can create fear long before anyone checks the facts. A few seconds of verification can prevent unnecessary anxiety from spreading across an entire family. Watch the video for more safety tips. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety

Screen sharing app scams are targeting senior citizens by pretending to be customer support for banks, bills, pensions, telecom, gas, electricity, or insurance services. One wrong call, one fake helpline number, and one installed app can give criminals full access to the phone, OTPs, banking apps, messages, and passwords.

Disappearing chats can create false confidence, but anything shared online can still be saved, recorded, forwarded, backed up, or misused before it vanishes. Treat every message as permanent, avoid sharing private images, OTPs, passwords, IDs, financial details, or confidential work information in casual chats, and teach children that vanishing messages do not remove consequences.

QR code scams are rising because fraudsters exploit rushed payment habits and misplaced trust in familiar-looking codes. A fake sticker, a crowded counter, or one careless approval can lead to instant financial loss. Slow down, check the merchant name, read the payment screen, and approve only after verifying every detail. Watch video for more safety tips. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety #QRCode

War today spreads as fast through screens as it does across borders, and every unverified forward, AI generated visual, or recycled clip distorts reality, fuels panic, and can put lives at risk. Digital discipline is a national responsibility where restraint, verification, and responsible sharing matter more than speed. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety #VerifyBeforeYouShare

Fake Google Maps listings are being used to impersonate trusted services and trap people into advance payments, especially when they are searching in urgency for repairs, bookings, or customer support. These listings look professional, rank high, and push victims into quick payments before disappearing. Verification is critical as listings are not automatically genuine. Watch this video for safety tips to stay safe. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety #Google

ADG Vishwas Nangre Patil Sir (Anti-Corruption, Maharashtra Police) talks about an incredibly important topic to spread awareness in the general population regarding cybercrime of “digital detention”. Criminals masquerading as senior law enforcement officials/ ED/ CBI officers are threatening innocent, vulnerable citizens with "online arrest" under bogus charges. They usually call on Whatsapp or Skype video calls with elaborate set up that indeed looks like a Government office. Please listen to Sir carefully and dont fall for these scammers. Report any such incident to 1930 immediately! Stay Aware, Stay Safe. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat #IPSVishwasNangrePatil #DigitalDetention #CyberSafety #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation

Leadership, courage and voice define the women of today. Across sectors, women are stepping into positions of strength and responsibility. With that strength must come the confidence to speak up against abuse and mistreatment. Silence protects the wrong person. Shame belongs to the offender, never the victim. We thank DGP Shikha Goel, IPS ma'am for sharing this powerful message and standing with women everywhere. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #WomensDay #WomenInLeadership #SpeakUp

Crisis scams exploit urgency, fear, and empathy to push people into instant donations without verification. Fraudsters use real images, forged documents, and emotional messaging to make appeals look genuine, then route money through QR codes, UPI IDs, and personal accounts where it disappears instantly. Never trust donation requests coming through WhatsApp forwards, Instagram posts, or Telegram messages, and never send money without verifying through official government portals or the organisation’s verified website. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety #ScamAlert

Study groups are being used as grooming traps. Predators enter as mentors and build trust slowly. Private chats become manipulation and control. One photo can turn into lifelong blackmail. Awareness is the only real protection. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety #Children

Endless messages, notifications and online conversations. Yet adults feel more isolated than ever. When digital validation replaces real connection, loneliness grows even in a hyper-connected world. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety #MentalHealth
