Скачать или смотреть Aadhar card Data Breach-For Rs500, access to billion Aadhaar data; for Rs300 print any Aadhaar card

If you are one among those who have already read about how data from the UIDAI is available for as low as Rs 500, there are high chances that you are already feeling vulnerable. After all, it is not everyday that critical details such as your biometrics, address,, schooling details, and a host of other records can be made available online, for as low as Rs 500. Journalist Rachna Khaira, working for The Tribune wrote a story explaining how 10 minutes and Rs 500 opened a treasure trove of close to a billion odd Aadhar records for her. Here is a link to the story. Officials from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) expressed shock and surprise at this. An Additional Director General ranked official was quoted as saying that in the event of access being granted to more than two users (besides the Director General and Additional Director General), the case would constitute as a "national security breach". IS AADHAR HACKED? Media reports suggest that messages forwarded on Whatsapp messaging app, have marketed themselves as offering access to Aadhaar data. 3 lakh village level enterprise operators hired by the ministry of Information and technology, offering UIDAI data acquisition services became redundant after their bread and butter service was taken over by banks and designated post offices in November 2017. VLEs since then have offered services such as Aadhar card printing, to stay afloat. However such services expose a loophole and could potentially result in misuse of data. It is estimated that over one lakh VLE service providers could have access to UIDAI data. There is also speculation that hackers could have fraudulently gained access to a Rajasthan Government Aadhar portal named- aadhaar.rajasthan.gov.in. The website was reported by a handful agencies to have allowed access to print Aadhaar cards of Indian citizens. There is nothing substantial still to confirm whether this website remains an official government portal or even a UIDAI one. Sify.com found the owner of the website from a Whois tracking service. A whois service shares the details of the owner of the domain. The "Secretary and Commissioner" for the department of IT and Communication came up as the registrant for the domain.
