The public has been warned of potentially harmful internet fraud by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. people are advised not to click on links they get in text messages that seem to be associated with traffic challans. The announcement claims that these bogus connections have been found as a technique for hackers to access people's bank accounts without their consent.

The government has advised people not to click on any links they receive through text messages, especially links to traffic citations. The press statement highlights that by clicking on these links, people run the danger of having their bank accounts hacked. people who click the infected link are sent to fake websites that look like platforms used by traffic police.

These fraudulent websites are intended to extort victims of their private and financial information. Victims are required to submit their online banking login information when they get on the phoney page, giving the con artist access to their accounts. In more serious situations, the con artists can have unauthorised access to the victim's device, which could result in bigger security flaws.

The ministry strongly warns against clicking on any links you get through text message, especially ones that ask you to pay for breaking traffic laws, in order to protect the safety and security of citizens. It is advised for people to go straight to the official government webpage if they want to confirm the legitimacy of an e-challan.
