Globally, India ranks 12th when it comes to the dangers associated with surfing the web, according to a report by Russia-based global cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab.

"It is known that money is the main motivation behind a cyber attack, and India being one of the largest and developing populations, cannot afford to be vulnerable online. We need to be more aware and more secure online," Shrenik Bhayani, General Manager, Kaspersky Lab South Asia, said in a statement this week.
