Scientists have done wonders: New technology will make OTP hacking difficult; learn how..

Hacking OTPs will soon be a no-brainer for cybercriminals. Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Hyderabad-based Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) have jointly developed a new technology that will significantly help prevent OTP theft and cyber fraud. Scientists say that once this technology is implemented, cybercrime cases could decrease by two to three times.

Importantly, this new technology has been successfully tested at the laboratory level and could be integrated into the systems of banks and mobile network companies in the future. Let's learn more about this new technology...

First, understand what this new technology is.
This system essentially adds an extra layer of security to existing OTP transmissions. The new technology will not only encrypt OTPs, but will also be accessible only on registered devices. This will make it virtually impossible for hackers to intercept OTPs.

How do OTPs get hacked?
Many people might be wondering how OTPs get hacked. Cyber ​​experts say that users often download malware onto their devices through phishing links or fake apps.

This malware allows hackers to read and use your OTP. Sometimes, users unknowingly share their OTPs, leading to fraud. However, with the introduction of this new technology, not only will banking and payment frauds be reduced, but e-commerce and mobile transactions will also become safer.
