Safeguarding your Aadhaar card from cyber fraud is crucial to protect your personal information. Here are some key steps you can take:

1. Report the incident to the nearest Cyber Crime Police Station and National Cyber Crime Portal 
2. Do not share your Aadhaar number: Avoid sharing your Aadhaar number publicly or with untrusted individuals.
3. Mask your Aadhaar number: When sharing a copy of your Aadhaar card, use a masked version, which hides the first eight digits.
4. Official sites only: Ensure you use only the official UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) website or trusted apps for any Aadhaar-related services.
5. Check for HTTPS: Verify that the website has "https" in the URL, indicating a secure connection.
6. Check Aadhaar authentication history: Visit the UIDAI website to check your Aadhaar authentication history and ensure no unauthorized usage.
7.  Linking to services: Be cautious about linking your Aadhaar to multiple services. Link it only where mandatory.
8. Generate a VID: A Virtual ID is a temporary, revocable 16-digit random number mapped with your Aadhaar number. It can be used instead of your Aadhaar number to access services.
9. Lock your Aadhaar number: You can temporarily lock your Aadhaar number when not in use. This prevents others from authenticating using your Aadhaar.
10.  Unlock when needed: Unlock your Aadhaar only when you need to use it for authentication.
11. Do not respond to unsolicited requests: Be wary of emails, messages, or calls asking for your Aadhaar details. Verify the authenticity of the request before providing any information.
12. Report phishing: If you receive a suspicious request, report it to the relevant authorities.
13. Updates from UIDAI: Keep yourself updated with the latest guidelines and security features provided by UIDAI.
14. Educate yourself: Learn about common cyber fraud tactics and how to avoid them.
15. Password protection: Use strong passwords for any accounts linked with your Aadhaar.
16. Two-factor authentication: Enable two-factor authentication wherever possible for an added layer of security.
