 How to stay safe if all your information is leaked?

She recently retired after 35 years of government service. Two months after retirement, her husband got a call saying he could claim a family insurance of Rest 5 lakh by paying the last installment of Rest 3,250. When he asked about the insurance details, the caller confidently said that it was a facility for all retired employees and gave the exact retirement details and also the husband’s address without the husband saying a word. The caller also had the location of the family and all the details of each member. The only mistake the caller made was that he called the husband instead of the retired wife. Because they had entered the husband’s name and his phone number in the nominee and this made the fraud gang confused as to who retired and they mistakenly called the husband. The family was alerted and thus saved their hard earned money...

Mumbai’s cybercrime branch, while investigating policyholder fraud, found last week that major incidents of data leaks have not only happened in the past, but are happening on a daily basis, where insiders pass on the latest information to outside gangs.

See another case. A 56-year-old man in Mumbai recently received a call saying that his policy was maturing this month and he had to pay Rest 5,575 • to close the auto debit facility. He had taken this policy a few years ago. As the information was correct, he sent the money to the QR code sent to the phone by the caller and within minutes, his account was debited with Rest 1.12 lakh. The police managed to nab four of these cybercriminals. Police believe that insurance company leavers steal policyholders’ data and give it to fraudsters in exchange for money, while some people start fraud by keeping the data themselves. Since the information received from the other end is true, the policy holders get stuck in such calls. According to the police, work from home increased the number of data leaks during the pandemic. Deputy Commissioner (Cyber) Bal Singh Rajput admitted that the data leak was not possible without insiders.

1.      Don’t be afraid View the call time. No calls after office hours. If you receive a call during business hours, ask the caller to call you back later, saying you are in a meeting or traveling and there is no sound. In the meantime check with the company.

2.      Do not scan any link or QR code sent... Call National Cyber ​​Crime Officer on 1930 if in doubt. • After all, your personal data is available everywhere for many reasons, so it’s time to protect yourself from fraud. Just don’t panic and go and investigate yourself.

Do you have a ‘Me, Myself’ WhatsApp group?

How many times have you been reminded to wish your school friend a happy wedding anniversary and you forgot? How many times have you forgotten to tell your sales staff to talk to that new person who you see as a potential future client? How many times has a girl been reminded to bring her a hair band and remembered to forget it on the way home? And how many times the night is ruined, because the baby’s diapers are forgotten, and the wife is tired of saying, ‘If you don’t remember anything but the office, why did you marry me?’ Poor thing… She doesn’t know that the husband spends half the day remembering what work he assigned to whom. If you are that kind of manager, then this idea is for you.

You can always apologize to the child and fulfill the promise on the weekend. But the most annoying thing for any successful manager or team leader is forgetting to get work updates from those employees who take advantage of your forgetfulness under pressure (natural. not dementia due to stress) and never complete the work, never report on time.

I need a publisher friend Dr. Pixyish Kumar found a way. There are some WhatsApp groups in his phone like- ‘Me, Myself’ and ‘Me, Myself Newest.’ He created the first group for employees who report directly to him and then removed them. But on the phone Sahib was mostly aware.

Most of the sahibs realized and deleted the group thinking that if the group persists, the rest will think that the office group already exists, so there is no need for another one. And then he delegated the work to the main group and started putting the report in his ‘Me Myself’ group whenever it was needed. While returning home, he would sit in the back seat of the car and ask everyone to complete the report one by one. If they get a satisfactory answer, they delete the work from the group, of which they are the only member. Whenever he came up with a new idea, he would share it in the ‘Me, Myself Newest’ group,” which he created by adding his wife and then removing her. He thinks the brain is a supercomputer and thinks 24/7. They fly away because they don’t write. Two more things they do. Place stickers-pencils everywhere they go during the day, even in the toilet. They write immediately.

·        The bottom line is that if you have a ‘Me Myself’ WhatsApp group on mobile, you can remember any task, whether it is filling a multi-crore tender or buying diapers for a six-month-old baby. You will forget most things in life. Because you spend your six to seven hours on mobile.
