Gujarat Faces 38 Lakh Malware Attacks Surge: Essential Tips to Secure Your Devices

Gujarat faces a massive malware onslaught, with over 38 lakh attacks reported recently, threatening devices in homes, businesses, and public sectors. Cybersecurity officials attribute the surge to malicious apps, phishing links, and unpatched software vulnerabilities, where users unwittingly install infected files via social media, messages, or fake sites—leading to data theft, ransomware, or backdoor access.


Vulnerable targets include outdated smartphones, under-updated PCs, legacy OS devices, and users who skip security patches or disable auto-updates; organizations with weak endpoint defenses are equally exposed.


To safeguard: Promptly apply OS/firmware updates; deploy reliable antivirus on all devices; avoid suspicious links or unsolicited downloads; stick to official app stores (Google Play/Apple); enable 2FA; and back up data offline regularly. In this escalating cyber threat era, proactive digital hygiene is essential for all Gujaratis.
