Posted on Pune Police’s official Twitter and Instagram accounts, this image was shared on August 16. “We suggest you consider a ‘break’ with everyone who asks you for your OTP or passwords. #CyberSafety,” reads the text shared alongside the image.

The photograph has the words, “We don’t share OTP with even Our Trusted People,” written on it.

The play on words is a smart way of suggesting that OPTs and passwords shouldn’t be shared with anybody, even those we consider closest to us.

Check out the post below:

The post currently has almost 100 likes on both Instagram and Twitter.

Here is what Twitter users had to say about the share. One person said, “Very nice”. Another individual wrote, “Perfect”.

This isn’t the first time Pune Police has used creativity to communicate vital information to netizens. On August 14, they shared a similarly witty post highlighting the ‘siyappa’ related to fake news . That post urged people to verify facts before forwarding any messages along.
