It further states “Notwithstanding these benefits, this online system like any other IT based system is susceptible to online invasions especially hacking. While security of this system is being strengthened, dangers of hacking cannot be over ruled”.

“Accordingly, it is enjoined upon all e-office users to be mindful of online invasions and interventions like hacking of e-office. Any unusual file movement/approval shall be reported urgently to the authorities.
