Chandigarh, November 15, 2016: When the world was eyeing America, wondering what the future will be; India was making history. The honorable Prime Minister of India addressed the nation to announce that Rs 500 and 1000 bills will be demonetized within hours.

This is already evident that we as a nation are moving to a cashless economy. With Paytm reporting 435 % increase in overall traffic and MobiKwik reporting 40 % increase in app downloads within hours of the announcement that came about the demonetization of Rs 500 and 1000 notes, there was visible hike in online transactions, online shopping and online banking. However, people in our country are still skeptical when it comes to online shopping or online banking transactions because we hear about account hacking, internet scams etc.

When you transact online, it is critical to have a reliable and updated safety application on all your devices. We install trusted security software for our computers but rely on free security software when it comes to mobile devices, which are neither trusted nor reliable.
