In today’s episode, we have Amit Dubey, an author and national security expert who has been at the forefront of tackling some of India’s most complex digital threats. From tracking down a person who made morphed pictures of a billionaire’s wife to revealing how OTPs and Gmail accounts can be hacked, Amit opens up about the hidden vulnerabilities in our digital lives. We talk about how Facebook collects data through your phone, how accounts can be compromised with just a phone call, and why there’s really no such thing as “cybercrime”, only weak systems and unprepared users. Amit also shares the benefits of switching to an e‑SIM and explains the basics of encryption, quantum computing, and why China is heavily investing in this field. In the last segment, Amit breaks down the states and cities with the highest crimes, how to detect if your phone has been hacked, and ways someone can misuse your Aadhaar card. This is a raw and eye‑opening conversation about digital security, privacy, and the future of technology in India. 00:00 - Intro 03:53 - How a Hacker Harassed a Billionaire 10:37 - How Data Is Tracked 20:50 - A Cyber Threat Targeting a Woman 24:29 - What Can Be Hacked via Gmail 30:28 - How He Catches Cyber Criminals 33:14 - How Gmail & WhatsApp Can Be Hacked? 42:30 - Why eSIMs Matter for Security 44:59 - Countries Where These Crimes Happen Most 47:53 - Which Countries Could Dominate 53:26 - Who Launches the Most Attacks in the U.S. & TikTok 1:03:04 - China’s Threats vs India & Private Companies 1:12:11 - Cognitive Hacking Explained 1:15:09 - Google’s Dominance 1:20:49 - Intelligence Agencies and States 1:23:36 - Job-Offer Scams Targeting Teenagers 1:27:56 - An IPS Office Compromised in an NRI Scam 1:32:11 - ₹7.5 Million Scam via Missed Calls 1:39:53 - Practical Steps to Stay Safe Online 1:42:22 - Avoid Public Wi‑Fi and Unknown USBs 1:44:17 - What Can Happen with Your Aadhaar Number 1:50:10 - Can Government Portals Be Hacked? 1:53:14 - Can Police Records Be Compromised? 1:54:27 - Closing Thoughts 1:54:51 - Outro
