India is one of the most data consumable country nowadays numbers of Internet users are increase day by day, but they are not aware about cyber-crime and cyber-fraud specially in Ruler Areas. As per my opinion first governments needs to be start campaign and awareness programs about Cyber-Crime And Cyber-Fraud. Because the maximum number of users doesn't know what is cyber-fraud, and even they can't be safe themselves due to lack of information and awareness about cybercrime.

Make sure one should make password such a long which is the combination of letters, digit, special characters. So that it may become hard for an hacker to make the combination of the password as per ur assumption.
