The Islamabad Capital Territory Police, traffic police, Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) jointly held a flag march in Islamabad to raise public awareness about online financial fraud, harassment and other cyber threats.

According to the NCCIA, the campaign aimed to promote safe internet use and educate citizens about scams involving fake social media accounts, identity theft and cyber harassment.

Officials advised citizens not to share passwords, one-time passwords (OTPs), banking details or other sensitive information, and to avoid suspicious links and verify online information before sharing it. They also urged caution when interacting with strangers on social media.

The campaign emphasised the importance of promptly reporting cybercrime incidents and preserving relevant evidence, including messages, screenshots and transaction records, to support investigations.
