How to protect yourself from AePS-related security threats?

Now that you understand the risk, let's explore practical ways to safeguard yourselves from AePS-related security threats.

1. Keep your Aadhaar safe

Do not share your Aadhaar number or biometric data with anyone except authorized personnel at banks or government offices. Even when updating your Aadhaar data, don’t share your data with any random agent in nearby shops. Visit the UIDAI website to check for authentic update centres.

2. Be cautious of phishing attempts

Beware of unsolicited emails, messages or phone calls asking for your Aadhaar details. Always verify the authenticity of such requests before sharing any information.

3. Use strong authentication

Enable two-factor authentication whenever possible, and regularly update your passwords, PINs, mobile number and email ID with Aadhaar and your bank.

4. Monitor your bank statements

Frequently review your bank statements and transaction history for any suspicious activity. Report discrepancies or unauthorized transactions immediately to your bank.

Also, you are entitled to zero liability when you notify the bank about any unauthorized transaction within three working days of receiving a communication from the bank.

5. Enable Aadhaar biometric lock

You can lock your Aadhaar biometrics through the UIDAI website or MyAadhaar mobile apps. This helps in preventing unauthorized access to your biometric data. When required, you can unlock the biometrics for some time.
