CloudSEK’s analysis exposes an Uttar Pradesh–based criminal campaign operating hundreds of fake ID-printing websites impersonating banks, telecoms, and government services to collect personally identifiable information and OTPs; actors use Google Ads, blackhat SEO, and social media to drive traffic, maintain numerous domains and phone numbers, and appear to have accumulated a database of ~54,452 entries enabling identity theft and financial fraud, with recommended mitigations including MFA, reporting registrars, and verifying .gov sites.
