The Story in Brief
The Supreme Court registry issued a public notice on Thursday warning of a fake website, sp-court-in.com, that impersonates the official portal sci.gov.in. The notice said cybercriminals may use the fraudulent site to trick people into revealing sensitive personal and financial data through phishing. This advisory follows earlier warnings on July 16, 2025 and April 28, 2026 about cloned sites. The registry urged users to verify URLs before clicking, change passwords if targeted, and inform their banks of any unauthorised access.
The Indian Opinion
The court's repetition of such warnings within a year shows the phishing threat is persistent. Yet many will still click before checking a URL. The real test is whether the registry now pushes banks and telcos to SMS alerts to every user who visits a suspicious link. Why should vigilance fall only on the citizen?
