The government has taken action to block certain websites that reveal sensitive personally identifiable information, such as PAN card details, of Indian citizens. This information was announced through an official statement today.
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-IN), operating under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, identified security vulnerabilities on these websites. In response to these findings, the government acted swiftly to prevent any potential misuse of personal data.
Blocking these websites aims to safeguard the privacy and security of Indian citizens by ensuring that their sensitive information is not easily accessible to unauthorized individuals. The move highlights the government’s commitment to protecting citizens from cyber threats and maintaining the integrity of personal data.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, authorities are increasingly vigilant in monitoring online platforms and addressing any security risks that may arise. This incident serves as a reminder for citizens to remain cautious about sharing their personal information online and to be aware of potential data breaches.
