If you've been targeted online,
There is a way forward.
Cyber-Aid Foundation is a Section 8 nonprofit working to strengthen cyber safety, cybercrime awareness, cyber fraud prevention and victim assistance in Maharashtra. We provide cyber-safety education, reporting guidance and assistance while helping institutions and communities build stronger cyber-safety systems.
Whether you are seeking help, collaboration, or cyber awareness support — CyberAid is here for you.
The Scam Behind the Smile
Every day, people face cyber fraud, online scams, phishing, identity-related fraud and other cyber-related incidents. Many victims don't know where to report, what evidence to preserve, what steps to take first or whom to trust for guidance.
At the same time, schools, colleges, workplaces and communities often lack practical cyber-safety systems.
Every day, thousands of people face cyber fraud, yet many don't know where to report, what steps to take, or whom to trust for guidance.
While fraud networks have become more organized, support systems for ordinary people remain limited.
That's why CyberAid exists.
What victims face today
People often don't know where to report, what evidence to preserve, or what to do in the first few critical hours after an attack.
Schools, colleges, and local communities rarely have structured cyber safety support systems in place.
Knowing about scams is important, but victims also need guidance, response support, and trusted local help.
How CyberAid bridges the gap
Helping victims understand reporting, evidence preservation, and response pathways — step by step.
Building cyber-safe schools, colleges, communities, and rural support networks through Cyber Guards and local partnerships.
Workshops and practical learning on cyber fraud prevention, reporting, digital safety, and responsible technology use.
Cyber fraud has evolved into an organized ecosystem.
Support systems for ordinary people have not.
We are working to change that.
Cyber-Aid Foundation works to strengthen cyber safety across Maharashtra through cybercrime awareness, practical cyber-safety education, victim assistance, reporting guidance and community-based support systems. Based in Pune, we work with colleges, educational institutions, communities and other organisations to help people prevent cyber fraud, understand cyber risks, respond appropriately to cyber incidents and access the right reporting and support channels.

Get HelpWe work with educational institutions, workplaces and other organisations to build local cyber-safety teams, train cyber-safety champions, strengthen internal processes and help institutions develop the capacity to identify risks, respond appropriately and connect people with the right support.
New programmes being developed to extend cyber-safety support into local communities and school ecosystems.
Cyber Panchayat is a community-based model being developed for rural Maharashtra, working with Panchayat representatives and local stakeholders to build trained local cyber-safety teams. The model is designed to help communities respond more quickly to cyber incidents, understand appropriate reporting pathways and connect affected individuals with the right support.
Cyber Mentors is a teacher-training programme being developed for schools. Students increasingly face cyber fraud and online risks, while teachers may not always have the specific knowledge and resources needed to guide them. The programme will provide ready-to-use resources and practical training to equip teachers to identify common cyber risks, guide students, and connect them with the right reporting channels.
CyberAid works across three interconnected areas — because cybercrime victims need more than awareness. They need guidance, response, and a community that stands with them.
We guide cybercrime victims through the critical first 72 hours — the window that matters most for reporting, evidence preservation, and damage control.
Practical workshops and field programs that go beyond telling people "be careful online" — we teach people exactly what to do when something goes wrong.
We don't just respond to cybercrime — we build the infrastructure that prevents it. From Cyber Guards to institutional partnerships, we create lasting safety networks.
From the moment someone reaches out, here's what happens.
Victim contacts CyberAid through our helpdesk — online, phone, or in-person at a field camp.
We understand what happened, what type of fraud, and what the 72-hour window looks like for this case.
We walk them through cybercrime.gov.in, 1930 helpline, evidence preservation, and bank freeze requests.
We stay connected, help track case progress, and refer to legal or psychological support if needed.
