Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

The Supreme Court Registry on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, warned the public about a fraudulent domain, scigovinjudicial.com, that impersonates the official Supreme Court site. Cybercriminals behind it may try to obtain sensitive personal data and confidential login credentials through targeted phishing, the Registry said. The advisory is the fourth such notice since July 2025, following earlier alerts in July 2025, April 2026 and August 2026 about websites cloning the court's official site. The Registry stressed that the Supreme Court’s genuine domain is sci.gov.in and urged users to verify URLs before engaging. Anyone who suspects they have been compromised should change passwords on all online accounts immediately and notify their banks about unauthorised access, the Registry advised.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The three outlets carry the same straightforward warning from the Supreme Court Registry, with no partisan or ideological slant. Deccan Chronicle and India Today cite the Press Trust of India report and structure their coverage around the official notice, while the Indian Express adds a longer practical checklist of safety steps for users. All three quote the same Registry language verbatim and name the same fraudulent domain, scigovinjudicial.com. The uniform straight reporting leaves no framing conflict to analyse. The practical implication is that the court has now issued four such warnings since July 2025, signalling a sustained phishing campaign that users must treat with consistent vigilance.
