Mangaluru : Cybersecurity expert Dr. Ananth Prabhu stated that the lack of awareness regarding modern technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), is the primary reason behind the surge in cyber crimes. Speaking as the resource person during a media interaction program organized jointly by the Dakshina Kannada District Working Journalists Association, Mangaluru Press Club, and Patrika Bhavana Trust at the Press Club on Friday, he emphasized the critical need for digital literacy.
He further highlighted that individuals using modern technological tools such as computers, the internet, mobile phones, and other electronic devices must possess proper knowledge about their usage. Without adequate precautions, personal data can be easily leaked, leading to severe consequences. To stay safe from such vulnerabilities, he explained various safety measures and stressed that gaining sufficient knowledge about cyber security is essential in today’s digital age.
The event was presided over by Pushparaj B.N., President of the Dakshina Kannada Working Journalists Association. Mangaluru Press Club President P.B. Harish Rai, Patrika Bhavana Trust President Annu Mangaluru, Karnataka State Working Journalists Association Executive Committee Member Shrinivas Nayak Indaje, and event director Kiran Sirsikar were present on the dais.
