Cyber Safety for Everyone – 3rd Edition

Online safety is not one problem with one fix: it touches how we pay, shop, communicate, play and share personal information. Cyber Safety for Everyone – 3rd Edition approaches those everyday situations in clear, practical terms, with particular attention to helping readers recognize risks and respond thoughtfully.

Written by JaagoTeens, this revised and updated edition draws on the group’s experience with students and covers online safety for a broad readership—from young people to the adults who support them.

From digital payments to online scams

The opening chapters focus on digital payments in India, cybersecurity challenges, online shopping risks and job scams. They bring financial safety into the wider conversation about protecting yourself online, helping readers consider what to watch for when carrying out everyday transactions.

Safer habits for families and individuals

Further chapters explore personal-information privacy, smartphone safety, online gaming and privacy settings across platforms. Parents will also find coverage of parental controls, while the sections on cyberbullying and online predators address risks that can affect young people in digital spaces.

Understanding what to do when something goes wrong

The book discusses reporting cybercrime and laws relating to online harassment, alongside online plagiarism and responsible digital behavior. Its chapter on the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021 gives the subject a specific Indian context; readers should check current official sources for up-to-date legal requirements.

Sharing cyber-safety knowledge

The 18-chapter structure also includes a downloadable JaagoTeens presentation and a chapter introducing how artificial intelligence relates to safety in real and online environments. Together, these topics make the book useful for readers building their own awareness and for adults seeking material to support conversations about safer internet use.

A practical guide for connected lives

With real-world examples and straightforward guidance across payments, privacy, family safety and digital conduct, this edition offers a wide-ranging starting point for thinking more carefully about life online.
