The Viluppuram District Police have been conducting cybercrime awareness programmes in schools and colleges to educate students about the growing risks associated with online activities. The programmes focus on helping students understand common cyber threats and the precautions they should take while using smartphones, social media platforms, online services and digital payment systems.
The awareness initiative is particularly relevant for young people, who increasingly depend on digital platforms for education, communication and entertainment. Students are being encouraged to remain cautious when sharing personal information online, interacting with unknown individuals and responding to suspicious links or messages. The programme aims to improve digital awareness among students and encourage them to report suspicious online activity through appropriate channels
