The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) has concluded a week-long cyber awareness campaign aimed at protecting senior citizens from online scams and cyber threats. The campaign involved workshops and awareness sessions conducted across the state, reaching out to senior citizens through community outreach programs and dedicated WhatsApp groups. Participants were educated on identifying and defending against common scams like digital arrest scams, trading/investment fraud, and emergency deception scams. The campaign also included the launch of videos and posters specifically designed for senior citizens to enhance their cyber awareness. The TGCSB plans to continue the campaign through targeted online groups and WhatsApp groups for senior citizen associations across the state, with over 2,000 members currently enrolled.
