Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common concerns regarding cybersecurity, financial wallet protection, and digital safety in Pakistan.

In Pakistan, digital crime is officially investigated and controlled by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), which has taken over cybercrime operations. You can file an official complaint online at their designated portal, call the national helpline, or visit an NCCIA office in person. Be sure to carry printed copies of all digital evidence, including WhatsApp chats, phone call logs, transaction SMS, or bank receipts.
Uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp on your phone, then enter your phone number to sign in. Request the 6-digit verification code via SMS. As soon as you enter this code, the hacker will be automatically logged out of your account. To prevent future hijacks, immediately enable Two-Step Verification (Settings > Account > Two-Step Verification) and set a secure 6-digit PIN.
Yes, but you must act immediately. Contact your mobile wallet helpline (3737 for Easypaisa, 4444 for JazzCash) or bank support within 2 hours of the fraudulent transaction to freeze the transit route and block the attacker's wallet. Once reported, secure a complaint ID or incident log, and file an official complaint with the NCCIA and PTA.
A legitimate bank representative will never ask for your account password, ATM PIN, or SMS OTP over a telephone call. Scammers often spoof official bank helpline numbers (using internet calling applications) to trick you. If a caller asks for verification codes, hang up instantly and call your bank's official number listed on the back of your debit card.
