A
fine in the amount of KZT 400 thousand is to be imposed on Kazakhstani citizens
for illegal transfer of digital signature to third parties. This was announced
by the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace
Industry, Tengrinews.kz reports with reference to Almaty.tv.
According
to the Ministry, there has been an increase in complaints from citizens on
illegal transfer of digital signature to third parties. In
2020, about 30 facts of such
transfer have been detected.
Previous year, over 50 administrative cases were registered.
It
is worth remembering that digital signature equals a handwritten one and
entails similar legal liabilities. To protect oneself and no become a victim of
fraud, the Ministry recommends not to transfer a digital signature to third
parties and in case of its loss, re-issue it as soon as possible, and also
change a standard password to a more complex one.
