The National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) in Hyderabad has issued a public warning about a series of emails circulating that claim to invite recipients to a digital healthcare workshop.

Authorities advised the public to verify the sender’s official email address, avoid opening suspicious attachments, and report any such communications to NIN’s cyber‑security cell. The institute also urged stakeholders to spread the warning within their networks to prevent further exploitation.
For verification, individuals can contact NIN’s helpline at 040‑2366 XXXX or visit the official NIN website. The institute reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding public health information against cyber threats.
