KUWAIT CITY, Jun 12: The Central Bank of Kuwait has issued an advisory warning the public against interacting with suspicious messages claiming to be related to parcel or shipment deliveries.

The bank cautioned users not to click on any links or respond to messages that request verification or contain notifications about undelivered parcels, as these are often linked to phishing attempts designed to steal personal or financial information.

Authorities urged individuals to remain vigilant and verify any such communications through official channels only, emphasizing that legitimate institutions do not request sensitive details through unsolicited links or messages.

The advisory forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen cybersecurity awareness and protect residents from increasing online fraud attempts.
