Yes, Aadhaar card no may be publically available but UIAOI claims that Aadhaar is just like any other id like phone no, therefore, is never to be treated as a confidential document. By simply knowing someone's Aadhaar, no one can impersonate and harm him because Aadhaar alone is not sufficient, it requires biometrics to authenticate one's identity. Aadhar launched by the government of India has reached almost every part of India and almost every Indian is registered under it.

Hi,
Every coin has two sides like that Aadhaar has positives and negatives.
Positive side might be linking to bank account linking for all such activities but if their database would be hacked all data might be easily stolen by hackers anything and everything might be stolen (data) so security measures must be taken for securing enough and Aadhaar has also a good thing if anyone lost or someone is missing we can use the data and find the person easily easy identification.

Hello everyone.
In my opinion, the Aadhaar database is secured enough because it is under the control of UIDAI and it is a government agency. As we all know if someone tries to hack their database he needs to enter a security code we can call it OTP and it will send on the no you have registered for Aadhaar and in my opinion, if you are aware enough about these things then no one can hack your database it's your responsibility to secure yourself and your data.
THANK YOU.

Hello everyone.
In my view, yes for some extent only because for the database we have to see things like cyber hacking why I'm saying because we know our Aadhar no. Is linked with mobile in today's era it not a difficulty thing to hack a mobile. So I think our country cybersecurity is more important before linking our data with aadhar. Finally in conclusion, I want to say that aadhar is good option for database but before we have to build our cyber security.
Thank you.

UIDAI is the government authority that handles all information in the Aadhar card which is intended to be secure. As the government displayed one nation one card, we can attach our all documents with an Aadhar card and we do not have to carry all other cards like the previous one.
As Aadhar card transactions require our fingerprint at every stage hence no cybercrime will take place.
If all documents are attached to the Aadhar card then everyone will be more secure.

The topic given to us is very important as we know that Aadhar card is becoming essential day by day. Most of the things are getting connected by Aadhar card but I think Aadhar card is safe enough. If anyone wants to hack our bank account then he requires OTP so till now there is no such device that can hack your OTP. If you lose your money then you will be responsible for it so be conscious. Hackers can only hack general information that will not be harmful to you.

First of all I thank you for giving me opportunity to Speak on this topic,
Aadhar card makes a individual secure about his/her identity.
If you are in India, Aadhar is used every other place like stations, office, Booking train tickets / Bus tickets, Hotel rooms etc.
We cannot say Aadhar is completely secure an OTP is sent for validation purpose only, if their is any slight Chance you miss your wallet moving from one place to another things becomes challenging.

Of course Not!
Each and everyone's details are linked with the Aadhaar. Though it may be easy to carry instead of carrying a bunch of documents, think that. If the Aadhaar number was leaked Anyone could get and access your personal details. They know the mobile number, your address your dob. They should be very safe. But Aadhaar just let it to common people and pits everyone in danger. Anyone could access your bank account if it was linked with Aadhaar.

It would be exaggerated if I say it is more secure!.
Recently I have listened.
Someone has two Aadhaar number of the same identity. How is it possible? it only possible when data leaks. It does not mean that govt take no step against the security of data. Nowadays UAIDAI has announced about virtual id which will be valid till 24 hours. Everywhere you were asked Aadhaar number then you must be used 16 digits virtual id which is generated by UAIDAI.

In my point of view, Aadhaar database is secured.
Aadhaar card was made for ease of people. On Aadhaar card every one has a unique number. This number is used in opening bank account. Due to this the procedure of opening bank account became easy. Our money can be transfer to bank account. This number is fully secured number. According to right to privacy, no one can steal our personal information.
Thus I can say Aadhar is fully secured database.
