TO AVOID PHISHING & THEFT, CENTRE ASKS GST OFFICIALS TO STOP USING PUBLIC EMAIL IDS FOR OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION

The office of the Directorate General of Systems & Data Management of the central government has written to all the customs & GST field formations, directorates, and officers to immediately switch over to gov.in/nic.in Email IDs for all their official communication

instead of using public Email IDs like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc, since such emails are susceptible to threats like privacy theft, credential dumping, targeted attacks like phishing, etc.
