Cybercrime is now common across the world. Several social media reports confirmed the cybercriminal networks operating in Pakistan. These criminals use different methods to deceive people online and cause them financial losses.

How to use Device Management?
All citizens need to keep their original documents, photos, and contact information in a secure cloud service or an external storage device. All devices should be updated to the latest security patches and software.
A strong password or biometric authentication should be enabled on all devices.
For extra protection, the location tracking services of “Find My iPhone or Find My Google” can also be used.
