The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) launched its first structured Bug Bounty Program to enhance the security of the Aadhaar digital ecosystem. The initiative invites ethical hackers and cybersecurity researchers to identify vulnerabilities in important digital platforms such as the UIDAI official website, the myAadhaar portal, and the Secure QR Code system. A panel of 20 cybersecurity experts has been selected to conduct systematic testing of these platforms and report any weaknesses. Rewards will be provided depending on the severity of the vulnerabilities discovered. The program aims to strengthen digital identity protection and ensure that sensitive personal data linked to Aadhaar remains secure from emerging cyber threats.
