    Understanding the Risks of Exposing PII Online

                      Exposing your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) online can lead to serious risks, including:
                          Impersonation: Cybercriminals can pretend to be you to access bank accounts or even open
                         new ones in your name.

                          Targeted phishing attacks: With your personal details, like your school or hobbies, attackers
                         can create very specific phishing attacks to trick you into sharing more sensitive information.
                          Identity theft: If someone steals your identity, it can lead to serious legal and financial problems
                         for you and your family.

                      In India, the Aadhaar number is a highly sensitive piece of PII. If your Aadhaar details are leaked
                      online, you could be at risk of identity theft and fraud. That’s why it’s important never to share
                      your full Aadhaar number or a copy of your card on unknown websites or with unverified people.

                                                                                                     21 st
