Telecom operator Airtel said
its advanced fraud detection system has protected over 3.5 million users in
Delhi-NCR within 43 days of launch of the new tool.
The statement assumes
significance given the rising instances of digital frauds where unsuspecting
users are lured online and deceived by scamsters leveraging advanced
techniques, malicious links and fake profiles.

of its AI-powered fraud detection system, Airtel has successfully safeguarded
more than 3.5 million users across the state, within just 43 days of launching
