6 Immediate Steps to Take After Falling for a Phishing Scam

If you fall for a phishing scam, act quickly to prevent financial loss and identity theft. Secure compromised accounts by changing passwords directly on official sites and ending all active sessions. Enable two-factor authentication using authenticator apps. Contact your bank to block cards or freeze accounts if financial data is exposed. Report incidents to India’s cybercrime helpline at 1930 or cybercrime.gov.in to stop fraud.
