The Ministry Warns Against Impersonating Government Officials On Social Media

 
 
 

Keeping an eye out for fake social media accounts and other suspicious online activities is a priority for the Ministry of Social Affairs. A warning has been issued against posting false advertisements promising financial aid and soliciting personal information and sensitive data from users online, such as telephone numbers, for the purpose of electronic fraud or hacking.

 Netizens are assured that the government has taken legal measures against impostors and will enforce the same against new suspects, denying posting these advertisements or requesting personal information from its official web pages. To combat cybercrime, the ministry urged netizens to report similar bogus accounts impersonating official ministry websites.
