Is the Aadhaar database secured enough?

Hello everyone, As per my view, Aadhaar database is not secure enough. Because before some days a news is came on different era about Aadhaar database is not secure. I think government is not recruit more knowledgeable person to take care about it. If it going on like this then one day Aadhaar database will be hacked by hacker.

Today the topic on which I want to share my views with you people is "The Security of Aadhar Database".

As we all know that Aadhar is an unique identification Id maintained by UIDAI and comissioned by GOI and because of this particular document we are free from the past hazards of carrying multiple documents for verification, in one word Aadhar itself is sufficient and nowadays necessary to prove your identity.

Now, coming to the database, what does it contain?!

Well again we all know that it contains almost all private documents of a particular individual in association with their digital record of biometric data like finger print and retina print.

From the recent orders it is mandatory to link one's PAN and Bank accounts with their Aadhar number. So, these all are saved there in a digital cloud storage which is secured until a hacker with improved coding skills comes into picture.

Whatever, now lets discuss the possible problems that we may face,

1. The. Pdf version of Aadhar card is usually a password proteced, although the format of the password is same for everyone and its readily available in internet (the format of the password which consists some details that can be easily known like DOB, Pincode of residence etc) , so, its highly possible one can open your. Pdf Aadhar card.

2. Nowadays, there is a new business named data business where they breach the personal databases and share those with their clients, as an example I should point out the recent case of the personal data breach of our very own MS Dhoni (Indian Cricketer) even renowned MNC's like again our very own Facebook is not out of the list.

3. If someday a hacker with insane hacking skills is able to breach the security of the database manager then guess what! All the private details along with the economic details are gone to him/her.

Now, to be practical even after getting this much details they will not be able to do any harm untill you are alert yourself, because for any transactions they will be needing the Otp that has been shared with only your own mobile number. So, if you are dumbass enough to give them that detail then you are wasted, that was your fault too.

Keeping apart the fact that such technology has not been developed till now to read the messages of someone else's cellphone without accesing that.

Till now the technology has been evolved upto the extent that if a particular application is installed in your device then that application can read and send your messages to a third party, so again you need to be intelligent enough to justify which application to keep and which not to.

Remember one thing, we the human built the technology so, this technology shouldn't be more intelligent than us, jokes apart, be alert to have a secured life both in analog and digital world.

Thank you.

Is the Aadhar database is not safe?

some people it is not safe but the database is trying to every minute they are trying built a firewall to be secured the information of people. Manoj Sinha is the telecommunication minister of India. He is trying to secure the Aadhar information for every second to be secure. They are really trying to secure the Aadhar information for people. We can't blame anyone for Aadhar information.No one can create any fake id it is very difficult to create.

Personally being a banker I think that Aadhar should not be made mandatory to avail each and every benefits provided by government There are lots of misuses done by it. I see a lot of customers come to bank and complain that their account is debited by some amount. When I enquire I got to know that theie money is debited using pos terminals and CSP. If Aadhar database is safe enough then how can another person can withdraw money using their own credentials. Fraud is also happening using their mobile numbers. So, this is not safe. Its security should be improved.

In my opinion, Aadhar is essential to everyone to avail public services and schemes and to keep an eye on black money circulating to overseas. But when we talk about its security it's below par and the recent incident of TRAI chief creates panic in people.

I say that the Aadhar firewall should upgrade on time with new technology.

The government should encourage ethical hacking and to create awareness among people and need to upgrade fastly with new technology.

And finally need to change security systems once or twice a week.

I think there is noting secure over the net.

Recently, Facebook is also in news for data sharing. Now come to the Aadhaar card.

Recently, one of my friend, made a duplicate fingerprint. And I think it is quite possible to make a fake Aadhaar card.

Realy, is that even a question, everyone knows it's safe right. Main dilemma for many of us is, Is it really that safe to link everything with it, I guess most of us would agree with negation to the question. Creating fake ids in India is actually what everyone hears in news on a regular basis. Dependency on a single id is too risky to take the risk.

Hello friends.

In my opinion, Aadhaar card is not safe at all, recently there has been a lot of reports regarding a breach in security of Aadhaar data. We all know Edward Snowden how he exposed the mass surveillance by CIA, he warned UIDAI about the risk of a data breach in a tweet saying that Aadhaar can be a profiting tool for the people who are involved in the data business. Recently a FIR has been filed against The Tribune reporter for exposing a data breach, Snowden wrote that journalists exposing such breaches should be given an award, instead of being probed. He further said that the one who actually deserves to be arrested is the UIDAI. According to an article the Aadhaar data was on sale for Rs 500. There was an incident in which M.S. Dhoni's personal data was leaked which led to the blacklisting of CSC e-governance services is a perfect example of leakage of personal information due to human errors.

So, in my opinion, Aadhaar is not safe.

Aadhaar is safe as an identity and it is also true that creating multiple Aadhaar cards for a single person is difficult.

But in my opinion, it is not that much safe that it should be.

For example, a person in Telangana state access the database and sell lot's of sim card with fack id.

Aadhar is a unique identification issued to us by the government of India. It alone is enough to identify a person as it contains your biometrics and retinal scan and all the other details. Thus, it is hard to copy or fake it.

Earlier we had to carry a hige pile of documents to confirm our identity but with the introduction of aadhar cards, it has become quite easier to prove your identity. To open a bank account or purchase a sim card which earlier demanded various documents and thus felt like a complicated procedure but the only thing they need now is the person himself and his aadhar. But since last few months, it has been observed that the government has made it mandatory to link all your accounts and other details with your Aadhar card. Thus making people think that their details might be stolen after breaching the system.

Surely there has been a lot of hoaxes circulating over the internet and other social media platforms regarding the info being stolen but there has been no information about this from the official sources yet. Thus keeping in mind the present records it can be assumed that our databases are secured enough. Also, it can be seen that merely having the aadhar details won't effect you as you also need the biometric details.
