Did you read the article? It's not about a "Aadhar breach" in the sense of data being stolen. The news is about a software hack that has been doing the rounds among operators that allows them to compromise the aadhar database by introducing duplicate or weaker biometric information. "The patch lets a user bypass critical security features such as biometric authentication of enrolment operators to generate unauthorised Aadhaar numbers. The patch disables the enrolment software's in-built GPS security feature (used to identify the physical location of every enrolment centre), which means anyone anywhere in the world — say, Beijing, Karachi or Kabul — can use the software to enrol users. The patch reduces the sensitivity of the enrolment software's iris-recognition system, making it easier to spoof the software with a photograph of a registered operator, rather than requiring the operator to be present in person."
