The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has teamed up with WhatsApp to launch a security campaign as part of Meta’s ‘Stay Safe from Scams’ initiative, aiming to tackle online fraud, spam, and raise awareness about digital threats.
Meta’s Global Policy Chief Joel Kaplan and Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia discussed efforts to combat online threats through this collaboration.
WhatsApp is using data from the Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP), a real-time intelligence-sharing system with over 550 stakeholders, including banks and law enforcement agencies.
India has seen a sharp rise in cybercrime, with scams leading to massive financial losses and a growing concern over ‘digital arrests’ via WhatsApp calls.
The partnership seeks to curb such crimes by strengthening digital security measures and detecting telecom resource misuse.
While the DoT and telecom operators have already taken steps against spam and fraud, this initiative adds another layer of protection for users.
