Risks of sharing PAN and Aadhaar details via WhatsApp
According to an NDTV report, sharing private documents like bank statements, PAN cards, or Aadhaar details on WhatsApp could put your sensitive information at risk. When you send these files to employees or agents, they might stay stored on personal phones or cloud backups, leaving them exposed to potential hacking and identity theft. Security experts recommend avoiding personal chats for KYC documents and instead using official company websites or secure digital verification platforms.
