90 lakh Aadhar details leaked in AP

 

Here is another nightmare situation for the Aadhar card holders. Though the government is relentlessly reiterating that the Aadhar data is highly secured... several breaches are coming right from the websites of the government. First it was the State Housing Corporation of AP that made the data of 1.3 lakh Aadhar card holders open for public. And that was just a sample! Yesterday a government portal dealing with MGNREGA scheme has made open the details of 89 lakh citizens. The details included bank account numbers, ration card numbers, caste and other crucial information of the card holders. Now it would be interesting to hear the assurance of government over the security of Aadhar card data.
