Shivam Shukla — On a mission to protect people from cybercrime
At the age of 16, most people are still trying to figure out their future.
But I chose a different path.
My name is Shivam Shukla. I am from Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, and currently living in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Like many others, I started with curiosity about technology — how the internet works, how systems connect, and how everything runs behind the screen.
But very soon, I discovered something serious.
The dark side of the internet.
People were getting scammed. Some were being blackmailed. Others were losing their money, accounts, and peace of mind.
And the worst part?
Most of them didn't even know what to do.
That moment changed everything for me.
I decided I didn't just want to learn technology — I wanted to use it to protect people.
💥 Reality
"Cybercrime doesn't break systems first — it breaks people."
🚀 My Journey
I started learning cybersecurity seriously and built my foundation through:
Advance Diploma Engineering in Cyber Security (ADECSS) Cyber Defender Program (Government of India) Cybercrime Investigation Training (NCRB) CCNA Network Fundamentals All India Computer Saksharta Mission
But learning alone was not enough.
💼 Real Experience
I stepped into real-world problems.
Till now, I have assisted in 252+ cyber-related cases, including:
Online fraud Blackmailing Account hacking Digital scams
Along with this, I have identified security vulnerabilities in 18+ websites, which helped me understand real-world threats and security gaps.
Learning Beyond Books
While learning, I also gained real-world experience by working with 15+ companies in CCO roles.
This helped me understand people — how they react in stressful situations, how problems are communicated, and how solutions are delivered.
In cybersecurity, this matters more than you think.
Because behind every cybercrime, there is a real human story.
🧠 Understanding the Truth
"The biggest vulnerability in cybersecurity is not software — it's human behavior."
Scammers don't hack systems first.
They hack trust. They create fear. They force quick decisions.
And that's how people lose everything.
🎯 My Mission
My goal is clear:
👉 To become a Cyber Security Investigator 👉 To help victims of cybercrime 👉 To spread awareness and prevent scams
Because I believe awareness can save lives.
I am still at the beginning of my journey.
But with 252+ cases and real-world experience, I know I am moving in the right direction.
This is not just a career for me.
This is a responsibility.
