Automatically enabled for all Airtel Mobile and Broadband customers, Advanced System Scans and Filters links to SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, E-mail and other browsers. It uses news with real -time threats and examines more than 1 billion URLs daily and blocks access to harmful places for less than 100 milliseconds, Airtel said in a press release.
For example, if the Salem resident receives a suspicious message that reads: “Your package is delayed. Follow it here: and if an unsuspecting resident clicks on the link, the Airtel system also clicks on the device. Airtel considered this website dangerous!”
