Now a days, Government of India is insisting all Indian Citizens to link their Bank Accounts, Mobile Number and what not almost everything with Aadhar. UIDAI is telling that all the Aadhar details of Indian citizens is very safe and there cannot be any breach.
But, A News Reporter from Tribune had reported that by paying a mere Rs.500 to some person he got all the Aadhar Details of a specific person. Here is how the incident had happened. This reporter had approached a person who told the reporter to Transfer Rs.500 to his PayTM account. After transfer is done, it seems that the other person had installed some software on Reporter’s PC using DreamViewer. That’s it, once the installation is done, the reporter had searched the details of some of the persons using Aadhar ID and he was surprised to know that he actually got all the details of the person including mobile number,address and photo. After it’s done, the other person had uninstalled the software from the reporter’s PC.
This is simply surprising that the biggest database that was created using Biometric method is prone to such easy access. UIDAI officials had already got the information and the investigation is already on.Hope the culprits will be caught soon and UIDAI must make Aadhar Database much more secure.
