EPFO Issues Security Advisory Against Cyber Fraud

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has issued a security advisory urging members to protect sensitive personal and financial data. The retirement fund body warned against sharing information like UAN, passwords, OTPs, Aadhaar, PAN, or bank details, emphasizing that it does not solicit such credentials via phone, email, or social media.

Subscribers are advised to use only official portals and verify URLs to avoid phishing attempts. The EPFO stressed that users should refrain from clicking unverified links sent through SMS or email to maintain account security against emerging cybersecurity threats.
