Progressive Literary & Cultural Society (India) organized an Online event, “E-Workshop on Cyber Crime Awareness” on 9th February 2022. The event commenced with PLCS President, Dr. Shamenaz (RTMM, Allahabad, India) giving introduction of the event. She said that, "We live in a world which has turned into a cyber world for three years, thanks to the current pandemic crisis. But before that we have also been a part of the cyber world since the advent of the internet and the fact is that day-by-day we are becoming dependent on it. Whether it is buying stuff for our houses, marketing, business, banking services and other such daily amenities, we are dependent on the internet. Though it has made our lives easier but at the same time it has a darker side because it has given rise to many cyber crimes but we can counter these crimes by being vigilant. So for this purpose PLCS has organized this workshop to make people aware of various crimes related to the cyber world. She then introduced the Speaker of the Workshop Dr. Alpana Gupta (Cyber Crime Intervention Officer, New Delhi). She tried to covered the presentation under the following heads:
In her address, she tried to explain, “In this tech savvy world of 21th century, each one of us is using the internet through WhatsApp, twitter, Facebook, net banking and lots of other platforms. So, we should know what are the problems that are occurring in the usage of these internet platforms. Cyber crime is a criminal activity done by using computers and the internet. It targets a computer or computer network or any device which is connected to the network, who commits it? It is committed by hackers who want to make money. It can be an individual or any organization. And the hacker's sole aim is to get profit could be personal or political. “Cybercrime does not occur from a want of feeling for others but from an over-sensitivity for self and an over indulgence in our desire”. As cyber crime is emerging as a serious threat, worldwide, govt police dept and intelligence units have started to react.
