While cyber crimes are on the rise, 67 per cent of Indian users think there is no harm in delaying software update, giving hackers ample time to break into their devices and steal their data, a new report warned on Friday.
Once the users receive update notifications on their devices, 41 per cent usually postpone the installation of updates.
