    Example: In November 2022, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi,
                        experienced a ransomware-style attack that disrupted digital services across the hospital. Staff
                        had to revert to manual operations in affected areas. Services were restored from backups.

                         Cyberbullying in virtual worlds: The rise of virtual worlds and platforms like the Metaverse,
                        including online games, can expose children and teens to cyberbullying, inappropriate content
                        and unsafe interactions.
                        Example: A report highlighted that players on Roblox, a popular online game, could encounter
                        explicit messages or unsafe chat rooms, leaving some young users scared or confused. This
                        shows how virtual platforms, while entertaining, can pose real risks if safety settings are weak.

                         Digital privacy: The growing collection of personal and sensitive data by companies makes
                        digital  privacy  a major  challenge. Protecting  such  data  from cyberattacks  is  critical  for
                        individuals and organisations.

                        Example: The Indian healthcare sector is among the most targeted industries, accounting for
                        over 21% of observed cyberattacks. Many attacks threatened patient data privacy, highlighting
                        the importance of strong cybersecurity measures.
