Recently, it is known from different media that various fraudsters are deceiving the common people by providing misleading information about vaccination through the security system. The Digital Platform for Covid-19 Vaccine Management “Suraksha” has been developed by the Department of Information and Communication Technology, Directorate of ICT and has been providing technical assistance to the Directorate of Health for conducting the vaccine program as per the directives of the Prime Minister's Office.

Various fraudsters try to forge certificates by creating multiple phishing clone sites of the security system, which when detected, shuts down the clone sites through a complaint to the ICT Directorate BTRC. Security System Link – https://surokkha.gov.bd If scanning the QR code of the vaccination certificate goes to any domain other than the website, then the certificate is a fake/fake certificate. Fraudsters are trying to deceive by providing various misleading information through advertisements on social media. A call from the Directorate of ICT to the general public, be more careful of fraudsters. Help the government deliver important citizen services. Inform concerned authorities and law enforcement agencies if irregularities or fraud are observed. Note that no technical security issues have been observed in the security system so far. Security systems are certified by SQTC (Software Quality Testing and Certification Center) before being released for use. The system is highly securely stored in the government's KPI organization 3-tier (NDC- National Data Center). The Department of Information and Communication Technology from time to time provides the User ID to the designated competent representative of the Department of Health through the appropriate authority for use of the security system as per the requirement of the Department of Health.

The Department of Information and Communication Technology does not provide user ID directly to any user. The designated user can enter the system only by confirming the OTP (One Time Password) on the user's own mobile provided by the appropriate authority each time using the provided user-password while logging in to the system.
