Hundreds of fake identity card-printing websites are operating out of Uttar Pradesh and duping people by using their personal information, according to a cyber security research firm.
The websites put out advertisements offering to make physical identity cards like Aadhaar, PAN, and driving licence, and deliver those at the customers’ doorstep at affordable rates, CloudSEK, the Bengaluru-based firm, has claimed.
The personal information of people is used to carry out social engineering attacks, identity thefts, phishing attacks, while it can also be exploited to carry out unauthorised financial transactions and issuing SIM cards illegally, it noted.
