> There are three people across three different parts of the world who corroborate the report - CTO of a global technology group, a security based analyst and a professor of Computer Science. I wonder how this is "sensationalist".
OP is not negating the problem. However, the title implies that the existing database has been breached, which is not true. Author could have given a better title which implies that ghost entries could be added and existing data has not been compromised.
- intended 8y agoThe whole point of the system is to give a single confirmed Identity for citizens of India. at this point the purpose of the exercise has been voided. Saying that "the data has not been compromised" is a red herring, thats the case for when our biomterics are lost and our privacy breached which is a whole different issue with this database, one among many of its other problems. At this point if the data is crud, whats the point of using this system?
- ppurka 8y agoActually, having an Aadhar number does not imply that the person is a citizen - this is one of the statements present in the application form itself. So, it is possible for non-citizens to have an Aadhar number.
- lenkite 8y agoSo Aadhar is meant for the whole world including our neighbouring citizens (and Intelligence agencies) of Pakistan and China ? Thank you for educating me, I didn't know that. Its truly wonderful and neighbourly that they get the convenience of self-registration without providing proof and customizing their bio-metrics during upload. Only Indian citizens should be held to a higher standard.
