Cybercrime encompasses a broad range of criminal activities conducted using digital devices and networks. These crimes often involve exploiting technology to commit fraud, identity theft, data breaches, computer viruses, scams, and other malicious acts. Cybercriminals take advantage of vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks to gain unauthorized access, steal sensitive information, disrupt services, and inflict financial or reputational harm on individuals, organizations, and governments.Cybersecurity plays a crucial role in protecting sensitive data and assets from cybercriminals. It helps prevent data breaches, identity theft, and various other forms of cybercrime. In today’s digital age, ignoring cybersecurity is not an option—one security breach can expose the personal information of millions, leading to severe financial losses for companies and a loss of trust among customers.

She provided valuable insights on how to handle such situations and explained the ways in which the Mumbai Police are helping the public by tackling cybercrimes and apprehending offenders.
