Fake Covid Vaccine Registration: The world’s largest vaccination program is going on in India. Since May 1, 18+ have also been approved to get vaccine doses, but in most places they are unable to get vaccinated due to shortage of stock. Almost all vaccination slots have been booked due to shortage of vaccine supplies. In such a situation, most people are constantly looking at empty slots to get the Corona vaccine dosed so that it can be administered. Some criminal elements are trying to gather personal information of users through fake vaccine registration application in the name of Kovin. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has cautioned people about fake apps about this. These apps are being spread through SMS. CERT-In has advised all people not to download five such files which can steal users’ personal information.

The regulator has warned people to approve the approval sought by this app. These fake apps can steal users’ passwords and other personal information. CERT-In has asked people to stay away from all fake domains, e-mails and text messages and phone calls that falsely claim registration of corona vaccination. For registration of vaccination only
