Know what to do when things go wrong online — from scams to harassment to stolen accounts.
Between classes, internships and social lives, students live online — which makes basic cyber hygiene as essential as any subject on the syllabus.
This guide (demo content) covers the essentials: recognising phishing and job scams targeting students, securing accounts with strong passwords and 2FA, handling online harassment, and where to report cybercrime in India.
The one habit that prevents most disasters: pause before you click, share or pay.
Key takeaways
- Use unique passwords and two-factor authentication everywhere
- Never share OTPs — no legitimate service asks for them
- Screenshot and report harassment; most platforms have escalation routes
- India has a national cybercrime reporting portal for online fraud and abuse
