Watch: Zomato And Google Prepare Cyber 'Safe-Tea' To Deal With Online Threats

The number of cyber-attacks in India has recorded a steady growth over the past couple of years. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi was the target of a high-profile ransomware attack last month, which prompted security researchers to plug the gaps its cybersecurity system. To prepare internet users better, Google and Zomato have now come together to highlight the growing need of cyber security and how one can protect themselves from such threats.

A video, shared jointly by Zomato and Google India on Instagram, shows a person creating a strong password using a "safe-tea" formula. He starts by placing capital letters in a container marked "password". The recipe is then completed by lowercase letters, punctuation, and digits. After finishing this procedure, he performs a two-step verification and serves the "safe-tea".
