The Supreme Court of India has issued a public notice regarding phishing attacks involving fake websites impersonating its official site.
These fraudulent URLs, such as www.scigoin.com and www.judicialsearchinia.com, are soliciting personal and confidential information, posing serious risks to unsuspecting users.
The Registry cautions the public against visiting or sharing links without verifying their authenticity. Importantly, the Supreme Court’s official domain is www.sci.gov.in, and it never solicits personal or financial details.
Victims of these phishing attacks are urged to change their passwords and alert financial institutions. Law enforcement agencies have been notified to investigate and take swift action.

Registrar (Technology) Hargurvarinder Singh Jaggi emphasized the need for caution, urging users to hover over URLs before clicking and refrain from sharing sensitive information.
“Please note that the Registry, Supreme Court of India, will never ask for personal information, financial details or other confidential information. Please also note that the Supreme Court of India is the registered user of the domain name www.sci.gov.in and before clicking on any URL always hover over the URL to verify the same,” a statement read.
This advisory comes as part of the court’s commitment to safeguarding public interest and ensuring cybersecurity awareness.
