The advisory which has been forwarded to all registrars of states and UTs of the country asks for taking precautionary measures in registration of birth and deaths in order to avoid misuse of online portal credentials i.e User ID and password. 

In the advisory, the state governments and administrators have been asked to issue necessary instructions to all the registration authorities not to share passwords with any person, periodically change the password and update the credentials in the existing portal/software developed for online registration of birth and death.

 “It has come to the notice of some unauthorized persons, by misusing Login ID/Passwords have issued fake birth/death certificates in few cases through online portal/website. Also, few instances have been reported that existing portal/software developed for online registration of birth and death has come under phishing attack”, the advisory said.

MHA said fake portals/websites have been designed with the aim to steal and misuse user/login IDs and passwords for the issuance of fake birth and death certificates. Consequently, some criminal cases have been registered by the concerned registration authorities.
