- A worrying report from cybersecurity firm Avast

- Despite the installation of anti-virus software, the risk of hacking on every Indian user increased by 28% in the Corona epidemic

New Delhi: Cyber ​​security firm Avast has expressed concern that an average of one in three computers in India is at risk of hacking. The threat posed by hackers to the Corona epidemic has increased the risk to every Indian user by 3%.

Avast's Global PC Risk report claims that every Indian computer user is at risk of hacking. On average one in three PCs are in the eye of hackers and can be hacked at any time. According to the report, the risk of hacking on every Indian computer user has increased by 3% in the Corona period.

PC is not safe despite having anti-virus software. Hackers also crack anti-virus software. The latest technique used by hackers for hacking is bypassing antivirus and infiltrating computers.

The risk of computer hacking in the world is 4.5 per cent higher in India. Hackers are increasingly targeting the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe, according to the report. According to the director of Avast, in the Corona period, most people prefer to work from home, but compared to developed countries, emerging countries have not developed special computer security techniques. Because of this hackers have also become more active during this period.

Avast's report advised to be alert immediately if suspicious activity is detected. Emphasis was also laid on raising special awareness about anti-virus in India.
