AI-Driven Cybersecurity: Emerging Threats and Defensive Strategies with Focus on College Youth in Delhi

Shifali Puri, Dr Digvijay Singh Rathor — 2026-01-24

The accelerating integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into digital infrastructures has reshaped the cybersecurity landscape, introducing both unprecedented opportunities and complex vulnerabilities. In Delhi, where youth and institutions increasingly depend on digital platforms, the risks posed by AI-driven threats are particularly pronounced. Emerging challenges such as deepfakes, prompt injection attacks, phishing schemes, scholarship scams, and institutional breaches highlight the evolving sophistication of malicious actors. The proliferation of spam calls and cyberfrauds further undermines trust in communication systems, exposing individuals to financial loss and psychological distress. At the same time, AI is being leveraged as a defensive tool, enabling proactive detection, anomaly monitoring, and real-time mitigation of cyber risks. Local initiatives in Delhi—including awareness campaigns, student-led programs, and curriculum integration—demonstrate the importance of fostering digital resilience among young populations. This paper critically examines the dual role of AI as both a driver of new threats and a cornerstone of modern defenses, emphasizing the need for collaborative strategies that unite technology, policy, and education to safeguard the digital future.

MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA DECIMATE THE BRITISH ARMY, THE FAILURE OF THE BRITISH CAMPAIGN IN 1807

Mahmoud Ahmed Darwish — 2026-03-19

In the British campaign of 1807, the leaders lacked experience with Egyptian weather conditions, as the campaign occurred during the Khamasin wind season, which was capable of disrupting the British army. Poor planning led the invading forces to encamp at Lake Mariout at the beginning of the campaign and at Lake Edku during the second attack on Rosetta. This was accompanied by a horrific spread of mosquitoes in Lake Edku, which was the base for the army's ships. Their commander, Fraser, took refuge there, sitting on one of the ships. He did not participate in the battle in which the people of Rosetta defeated the British army. He was attacked by mosquitoes, which spread malaria among the invading forces, forcing them to flee, leading to the subsequent humiliating withdrawal from Egypt. This is the main theme of the research, which clearly demonstrates that natural and climatic conditions can defeat the mightiest armies. The British army, who committed the most horrific massacres - without mercy - during the invasion of Egypt were unable to prevent divine vengeance by confronting an enemy they had no plans to resist.

THE PREPARATORY STAGE FOR THE BRITISH CAMPAIGN AGAINST EGYPT 1897, ANALYTICAL STUDY

Mahmoud Ahmed Darwish — 2026-03-19

This research examines the preparatory stage for the British campaign against Egypt in 1897, through an analytical study. It does so by analyzing sixteen letters exchanged between the British political and military leadership and the campaign forces to prepare for the attack on Egypt. The aim was to achieve military objectives and occupy Egyptian ports, following coordination with the Ottoman Sultan and the Mamluks under the leadership of Muhammad Bey al-Alfi. These letters, dated between November 21, 1806, and February 28, 1807, encompass all preparations for the campaign.

The research addresses this topic through two main sections: the first examines the text of the sixteen letters, and the second presents an analytical study of the letters during the preparatory stage for the campaign against Egypt.
