Supreme Court cautions public about fake website harvesting personal and financial data

The apex court has warned the public about a counterfeit website that pretends to provide services but is actually designed to steal personal and financial details. The site reportedly asks users for sensitive information such as bank account numbers, passwords and identity proofs, prompting the court to advise people to verify URLs before sharing any data. Authorities have been directed to trace the operators of the fraudulent portal and take appropriate legal action. The court also urged citizens to report suspicious websites to the cyber‑crime cells, emphasizing that vigilance is essential to protect digital security.
