The Story in Brief
Actor Nagarjuna has revealed that a family member was trapped in a digital arrest scam for two days, m9.news reports. Following the incident, he now changes his phone and Wi-Fi passwords every 15 days and avoids storing photos on his phone. Digital arrest scams involve fraudsters impersonating police or officials to extort money through fear. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal has issued advisories on such scams.
Telugu360, however, says Nagarjuna changes his passwords every month, not fortnightly. The actor stressed that cybercrime can affect anyone and urged basic precautions like not sharing OTPs or verifying caller identities.
The Indian Opinion
Nagarjuna's case is a reminder that cyber scams exploit fear, not technical skill. The lazy narrative that only the elderly or less educated fall for digital arrests is false. The real test is whether the government's helpline 1930 and bank mechanisms act fast enough to freeze stolen funds. Are telecom companies doing their part to block spoofed numbers before they ruin lives?
