KUWAIT CITY, Aug 6:  The Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) has issued a public advisory urging citizens and residents to exercise caution when responding to authentication requests via the "My Kuwait Mobile Identity" app.

PACI emphasized that users should only approve authentication requests if they are directly related to an action they have initiated. Users are strongly advised to verify the service provider's name and ensure the purpose of the request is legitimate before granting access or sharing any personal information.

A recent example, as shown in the app, included a service provider requesting authentication for "SIM card holder identity confirmation" at 9:46 a.m. on August 6, 2025. The notice warned that such requests should not be approved unless the user has knowingly initiated the process.

PACI reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding users’ data and urged the public to remain vigilant to prevent unauthorized access or misuse of personal information.
