Kathmandu. Nepal Insurance Authority (NEA) has removed this link from the Insurance Regulatory Management Information System Surveyor Reporting Portal after serious technical and security vulnerabilities were found in the portal.
The online system, which allows licensed insurance surveyors to enter their performance details, lacked identity verification, and the Central Information System (TAG_CLOSE_a_8 TAG_OPEN_a_8}} Insurance Khabar published on Thursday that there is a risk of being caught by hackers.
After the Insurance News pointed out a technical error, the Information Technology Section on the instructions of the authority management has removed this link from Friday.

Since there was no security ring in this portal for the convenience of the surveyor, there was a risk that unauthorized person or bot (computerized automated system) would easily enter the details in the name of any surveyor.
