Pakistan’s cyber security authorities have issued a warning after discovering several fraudulent websites pretending to offer official services of the National Database and Registration Authority.
According to officials from National Cyber Emergency Response Team, the suspicious websites were identified during a joint cyber security operation conducted between February and March 2026.
Authorities said these fake websites were designed to look like official government portals. Their main purpose was to trick people into sharing sensitive information such as CNIC numbers, passport details, and contact information.
Cyber experts explained that criminals often create such phishing websites by copying the design and layout of official platforms. Unsuspecting users may believe they are visiting a genuine service and unknowingly provide personal or financial information.
