admin Lockdown has seen a sharp rise in the use of social media, online games, and Netflix, especially with the use of social media among young people and children.
In this regard, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has issued an advisory to parents in which they urge caution against cyber attacks on young people.
According to the FIA, some complaints have been received by cybercriminals targeting children for accessing personal information, photos, bank information, and credit card details. Authorities say both of these cybercriminals are targeting children, especially teenagers.
The FIA says children are spending most of their time on social media, and that cybercriminals can easily befriend them and try to obtain their parents’ credit cards and bank details.

On the other hand, CCW also cautioned against online shopping, saying that consumers only shop online from registered and certified stores.
