Risks of Sharing KYC Documents on WhatsApp and Stock Market Outlook Amid Global UncertaintyPreviousNext

Sharing sensitive documents like PAN cards, Aadhaar, or bank statements via WhatsApp can expose personal data to risks such as indefinite storage on personal devices and cloud backups, increasing vulnerability to hacks. Experts warn that even honest recipients may unintentionally compromise data security. Separately, Indian stock markets are expected to open lower amid global uncertainties, with Bitcoin trading near key support levels as investors await Federal Reserve policy signals influencing risk assets.
