U.P. Police advocate outreach to vulnerable groups to combat cyber fraud

Uttar Pradesh police have called for a coordinated approach to combat cyber fraud, emphasizing outreach to high-risk populations and standardized, intelligence-driven response mechanisms. The force stressed the importance of educating vulnerable groups about emerging threats, particularly as artificial intelligence-enabled voice and video spoofing is expected to increase such crimes.

Officials recommended that individuals independently verify communications by contacting official police and bank helplines directly, rather than relying on suspicious calls or messages. The advisory aims to reduce fraud incidents by building public awareness of verification protocols before sharing sensitive information.
