NADRA Warns Against CNIC Photocopying Risks, Urges Vigilance

Identity theft and cybercrime are escalating threats in 2025, with increasingly sophisticated tactics such as AI-powered phishing, deepfakes, and data breaches putting personal and financial information at risk. Title companies in the real estate sector are responding to a surge in wire fraud by educating consumers, enhancing staff training, and adopting robust cybersecurity measures to protect homebuyers. The importance of proactive protection is also underscored by recommendations to use comprehensive identity theft monitoring services that offer credit monitoring, dark web surveillance, and real-time alerts. Additionally, official advisories like NADRA’s warning against unnecessary photocopying of identity cards highlight the need for vigilance in handling personal information to prevent exploitation and fraud. Collectively, these efforts reflect a growing emphasis on digital security and public awareness to combat the evolving threat landscape.
