Investigation Brief
paciprogram.org presents itself as the official Punjab Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Initiative but is flagged by multiple LinkedIn reports as a fraudulent portal that solicits CNIC numbers, credentials, and payments under false government branding.
Third-party warnings confirm impersonation
Kamran Riaz posted on LinkedIn that paciprogram.org is contacting people while claiming to represent a Government of Punjab initiative and explicitly warns against submitting CNIC, credentials, or payment information.
Muhammad Badeeh Zafar similarly reported that paciprogram.org is actively soliciting registrations and personal data under the guise of an official government program.
Domain registered only 36 days ago
The registrable domain is 36 days old, consistent with a rapidly deployed fraudulent portal.
Why the score is 15
Site claims to be an official Punjab government AI and cybersecurity training initiative but is identified as fraudulent by external reports. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
