Comprehensive WhatsApp Fraud Protection Through Cyber Insurance

In today's digital landscape, WhatsApp has become the most exploited platform by cybercriminals, with over 43,797 complaints of cyber fraud recorded in the first three months of 2024. As India's leading messaging platform with over 500 million users, WhatsApp's popularity has made it a prime target for sophisticated fraud schemes, making comprehensive cyber insurance protection more crucial than ever.

Understanding WhatsApp Fraud Risks in 2025

WhatsApp scams can target anyone through unsolicited messages from unknown numbers, particularly those asking you to click links, visit websites, share verification codes, or divulge personal information. The most concerning trend is the emergence of "Pig Butchering" scams, where fraudsters build long-term trust relationships before executing financial fraud.

Common WhatsApp Fraud Types Include:

        ● Phishing attacks through fake messages

        ● Social engineering scams

        ● Identity theft attempts

        ● Financial fraud schemes

        ● Cyber extortion threats

        ● Fake customer service impersonation

2. Social Media Coverage Comprehensive protection against fraud occurring through social media platforms, including WhatsApp, ensuring you're covered for identity theft and financial losses arising from social media scams.

4. Cyber Extortion Coverage Protection against cyber extortion losses where fraudsters threaten to release personal information or compromise accounts unless ransom demands are met.

There is no excess on the Cyber Insurance Policy. An excess is the amount you pay towards a claim before the insurer settles it. Our policy removes this extra cost.

What if I am the victim of more than one cybercrime simultaneously?

We're sorry to hear that. In such a situation, you can claim under the policy. However, only one insuring clause per event can be claimed.

What is a cyber insurance policy?

The cost of a cyber insurance policy varies depending on factors such as your business size, the types of data you handle, the coverage level you select, and your company's cybersecurity measures.

What documents do I need to get a cyber insurance policy?

Usually, you will need to provide information about your business's cybersecurity practices, data storage methods, and incident response plan. Some insurers may require documentation related to your company's risk assessments and security audits. It's always best to check with the specific insurance provider for their documentation requirements.

What types of incidents are covered by cyber insurance?

Generally, it covers a range of incidents, including data breaches, ransomware attacks, phishing scams, and network security failures. Coverage extends to costs associated with data restoration, legal representation, customer notification, and financial losses due to business disruptions. Specific coverage may vary based on the policy and provider.

How is the cost of cyber insurance determined?

The cost of cyber insurance is influenced by several factors, such as the size of the business, the type of data handled, the strength of existing security measures, and the industry in which the business operates. Insurers assess risk based on these factors to determine premiums. Companies with robust security protocols may qualify for lower rates

Can I renew my cyber insurance policy?

Yes, cyber insurance policies are usually renewable. Most insurers offer renewal options, though the specific terms may depend on your company's risk profile.

How can I extend my cyber insurance plan?

Cyber insurance policies are preferably renewed rather than extended. It is better if you contact your insurance provider before the policy's expiration date to initiate the renewal process.
