The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has issued a public advisory to refrain from sharing personal information with unauthorised websites or mobile applications, urging citizens to protect their Data online.
NADRA on Wednesday issued the alert about potential identity theft due to growing concerns over fraudulent platforms pretending to be NADRA to get citizens’ personal information.
According to recent reports, citizens have been exploited by scammers who offer incentives in exchange for their ID details, which are later used illegally.
The authority emphasised that protecting data online is not just a precaution but a requirement in today’s digital age.
Citizens must avoid unnecessary CNIC photocopies and should never use them as a guarantee or share them with unknown individuals.
NADRA urged citizens to only provide sensitive details like CNIC numbers, biometrics, or other identity data to Pak Identity, the authority’s official application.
