Hello everyone, Myself Manoj Nogia.

Well, each person has their own opinion about Adhaar Card Security & in my opinion Adhaar Card is not secured enough. Few days ago one of our Cabinet Minister tweeted his Adhaar card details and challanged someone to hack his account. Few days later, some hackers managed to know his account details and deposited 1 Rupee. And time to time we have seen such type of Adhaar card hacking incidents.

One thing is for sure that we don't need other identification cards as we can attach only Adhaar card as id and it saves a lot of time for people. But security poinnt of view it's not secure enough. I think so.

Hello friend. I am sukanta.

In my point of view, the database of Aadhar is secure every time because it is not linked to any other database. But sometimes some hacker hacks this database for criminal activities. It is also th responsibility for India government to secure from hackers.

Hello everyone I am Antara Saha.

Everyone point of view is different from their sides. From my side, Aadhar Card is useful for us. It can carry unique identification. Person's every identity is included there.

Before some years ago when we want to create our bank account or something like that we need many things but now a days for creating bank account or similar types of things we just only need Aadhar Card. That is much easier. And that will reduces people's golden times. We don't need our others extra ordinary details for all time through only Aadhar Card we can do everything.

Hello everyone, myself Himanshu Gupta.

What I feel is for security purpose, linking every single information with aadhaar card is not secured enough, as it will give rise to many cyber crime.

Earlier when government Selected few entrepreneurs for aadhaar card database management few of them misuse their power and sold admin rights for just RS 500. So this means you can access whole data for a very small amount.

Hello friends, I Am Gurpreet Singh.

In My Opinion, Aadhaar card is very much beneficial for us and it is mostly used for unique identification authority of India.

While using Aadhaar card, we can also link with passport, LPG connection, bank account etc. Which is issued by government schemes.

So that every citizen gets the benefit of the schemes.

Aadhaar card is just like another identification card which is very much beneficial.

The Aadhar database of our government, is not secure enough. Cyber security experts say, that if any database is connected to a network, it can be hacked. Also, we've seen various cases of data being stolen with only the Aadhar numbers. Also, experts say that the firewall used by the government can easily be penetrated.

The thinking of cybercrime is going too far from the reach of government.

But there is one advantage of aadhar database, in today world all the things are linked with aadhar card in India.

Which gives all information to government.

Let's take an example-before 4-5 years people gave highschool exams many times to decrease age to get government jobs but after aadhar database it's not possible.

THANK YOU.

The AADHAR was launched for the unique identification of the citizens of India. The current government is trying to link this identification to every public services. All the ban accounts, SIMs, PAN are linked so no one can hide any thing from government There has been many incidents of hacking into personal data through the UIDAI sever, which is a critical falw in the system. Recently the UIDAI has issued guidelines for not sharing the AADHAR number into public domains or social media this shows our secrets are not safe. Hackers are getting all the personal data through this which can lead to any serious criminal happenings with anyone.

Hello Friends, I am Ram.

In my opinions, Adhar card is secure and a good initiative of the Indian government, earlier other identity cards miss used by other persons but now Aadhar card is secure and its accepted after biomatrix verification but it is also riskful for uneducated peoples because Adhar is recommended for every government schemes, bank and many more places.

Saying that Aadhaar card is 100 per cent safe and secure would be a personified statement. No doubt individual's data is stored in the UIDAI software which is then encrypted and thereby preventing data leaks. But recent cases about data leaks can't be ignored as in the case of are S. Sharma and leakages have also occured due to government websites, apps, third party leakages etc. Data leak incident of M. S. Dhoni which led to the blacklisting of CSC e-governance services is a perfect example of leakage of personal information due to human errors. So, Aadhaar is not completely safe.
